Alas, the ahb driver failed to probe the devices... ok, now i'm also remembering the real problem. Ok, i've widened the scope of this reply to freebsd-scsi, i ran out of ideas. The only question is, i know that several things have been changing on the EISA front meanwhile. There should be an (unofficial) 2.2-SNAP available somewhere on freefall. Perhaps you could give its boot floppy try and see whether the driver there would see your drives? Anybody else here? Julian? Do you have an idea why the AHA17xx driver sees the adapter, but fails to find the drives? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
