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

Any ideas on what may be causing this problem, or what we can do to fix it?
