I've been having trouble installing FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE onto a dual PIII 600Mhz system with a Supermicro PIIIDM3 Motherboard, and 2 x 128Mb non-ECC DIMMs. The board has an Adaptec AIC-7892 Ultra160 onboard SCSI Controller. I have searched through the mailing list archives, and noted that there is no support for 160Mb/sec yet, however the problems still occur when we set the speed to 80Mb/sec (or even 40Mb/sec) manually using the SCSISelect utility with the card. I've tried using the latest -STABLE snapshot, but this doesnt help. I'm assuming that the chip is actually supported, as AIC-789x chips are listed in the supported hardware list. The installer gets as far as unpacking and installing the 'bin' set, and sometimes a bit further, but then all disk activity stops, and the following messages appear on the console: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x1e - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0xc (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queuing a BDR SCB (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x1e - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0x9 (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34b ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset. 125 SCBs aborted ahc0:A:0: ahc_intr - referenced scb not valid during seqinit 0x71 scb(30) ahc0: WARNING no command for scb 30 (cmdcmplt) QOUTPOS = 0 (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x1e - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0xb (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queuing a BDR SCB (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0xe - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0x157 (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queuing a BDR SCB ahc0: WARNING no command for scb 30 (cmdcmplt) QOUTPOS = 2 (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Bus Device Reset Message Sent (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): no longer in timeout, status 34b ahc0: Bus Device Reset on A:0. 73 SCBs aborted (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0xe - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0xb ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset. 0 SCBs aborted Any ideas on what may be causing this problem, or what we can do to fix it?
