>Environment:
The hardware: ASUS PCI/I-486SP3G
Intel 486 DX 4 100
32MB Ram 70ns in two sims
WD8003EP AT-BUS
Adaptec AHA1542CF with disabled Floppy and disabled BIOS
ELSA Winner100pro PCI 2MB
QUANTUM Empire 2100S Target 0 on ncr bus
"QUANTUM EMPIRE_2100S 1200"
WANG DAT 3400 Target 3 on ncr bus
"WangDAT Model 3400DX 1.10"
>Description:
If you try to access /dev/rst0.0 with dd bs=128k if=/dev/rst0.0
you get on the first access:
Mar 10 09:00:28 boheme kernel: st0: bad request, must be between 0 and 0
(I think this message doesn't do any harm. It also starts the first
access on the adaptec and does no harm there.)
If you try a second time you get the following:
st0: ncr.c assertion "cp = np->header.cp" line 5171 failed
st0: ncr.c assertion "cp" line 5172 failed
.
.
ncr0: restart
.
.
sd0: unit attention
sd0: oops not qeued
This sequence repeats 2-times. There is no more recovery of the
scsi subsytem. No more access to the harddisk. I had to reset.
Because there is no more disk access I have no exact copy of all kernel
messages. But I suppose I got the most important messages.
>How-To-Repeat:
see description above
>Fix:
My only work-around was to put the DAT tape to the scsi Bus of the
adaptec. Then there is no problem in accessing the DAT after the
message
st0: bad request, must be between 0 and 0
I took care of the proper termination in both setups. I also tried
the DAT in SCSI1 and SCSI2 mode.
Sorry that I can't help more. Thank you and the whole FreeBSD team
for providing us with the very BEST unix available.
