When the system boots all looks well up to just after the.... "Waiting 15 seconds for scsi devices to settle". After that is displayed and the system begins to boot, all scsi devices that are on the three controllers reset. It will eventualy boot and I can use the system and the drives just fine, as if nothing ever happened. I'm currious as to what could be causing the scsi devices to reset so harshly. Could this be a setting in the Adaptec BIOS or something to do with FreeBSD? I'm leaning more towards FreeBSD being at issue here since the same thing does not happen if I hook the cards and drives up to a NT or Win98 machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to have posted the actual messges printed to the screen but it's not being logged to syslog. If it would help I can hand type in what is displayed. And yes this does happen on my 4.1-stable system as well so I doubt the 3.4 version has anything to do with it. Thanks for any info.
