This is usually the result of some command that didn't complete properly two times in a row. The reason can be varied. Regardless though, my latest aic7xxx driver or Justin Gibbs' driver, either one, should fix this. Mine latest version specifically fixed the scsi bus hang after a reset problem that you had and it also fixed several situations that could lead to the resetting for second half of retries problem. -- Doug Ledford http://people.redhat.com/dledford Please check my web site for aic7xxx updates/answers before e-mailing me about problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
