I just switched from NCR to AHA-3940U and now I experience two kinds of problems: first of all, the freebsd bootloader on the second disk is unable to boot freebsd on it. It worked with NCR. Second: after booting to freebsd with a floppy (entering "sd(1,a)/kernel" to the prompt), my system hangs about half a minute after starting to run /etc/rc. The hangup comes quite randomly, sometimes it can't even get X running, sometimes I'm just barely able to log in from xdm. After hanging up, the HDD led just burns brightly and nothing but cold reset works. Windows NT and Windows 95 both work after the controller change. My 4 disks are now in two buses (all used to be in the one NCR-bus), first two in the first bus and last two in the second bus. First disk contains 50M FAT I use to boot to NT and 95, the second disk contains freebsd root, the second and third contain freebsd /var and /usr concatenated. The disks do work, fsck is able to finish along with the rest of the boot sequence. -- Antti-Pekka Liedes * apl@IRC * In two hells there's JMT 6 B 406 * apl@iki.fi * one hell too many 02150 ESPOO * apl@apocalypse.tky.hut.fi * - Lucifer +358 - 9 - 468 3121 * +358 - 40 - 5873 593 * (in God's Army)
