The latest driver available is 6.2.1 available from here: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/ The 2.4.7 patches will likely work for your mandrake setup. For this particular problem, I don't think it will make much of a difference. >Running: > ># mt -f /dev/st0 status > >when a tape is loaded hangs the machine solid, with only the following >information on the screen: > >(scsi0:A:3): parity error detected in Data-in phase SEQADDR(0x1a8) >SCSIRATE(0x95) Parity errors are hard to "create" in the driver. They almost always indicate a problem with your cabling or termination setup. If you boot with "aic7xxx=verbose", the termination settings will be displayed at boot which will unveil any problems on the controller end. What are you using for termination on the HP changer? How long is the cable from the machine to the changer? -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
