I have 3 of these drives connected to an Adaptec 2940AU controller and trying to install 2.2.1R. During the boot sequence the SCSI BIOS gets the drives OK but when the FreeBSD probes start I get the following errors... ahc0 rev 1 int a irq 10 on pci0:16 ahc0: aic7860 Single channel, SCSI Id-7, 3 SCBs ahc0 board is not responding (ahc0:0:0): SCB 0x0 - timedout in datain phase, SCSISIGI==0x46 SEQADDR==0x12c (ahc0:0:0): abort message in message buffer ahc0 board is not responding (ahc0:0:0): SCB 0x2 - timedout while recovery in progress (ahc0:0:0): "unknown unknown ????" type 13 fixed SCSI 0 uk0 unknown device .... Do I have 3 dodgy drives ?? any clues, help or otherwise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance cheers, Carey Nairn
