greetings all,

I have a small problem with som WD SCSI drives and was wondering if there
are any known problems with them or any advice you could give me.

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 <Adaptec 2940A Ultra SCSI Host adapter> 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
