Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 09:47:24 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been trying to install 3.3 on a new pII 400 w/128m, aic7896, and two segate 9 gig cheetahs (on one lvd cable - channel a). Termination is jumpered on the mb and in the bios. The cable is term'd after the second drive. The scsi bios see's both drives and I can low level format and check the media. The install goes fine w/msg's indicating that the controller is found. However, when the drives are probed, I either get parity errors during data in, or timeout in dataout phase - not always consistent. ONE time I was able to actually continue and complete (or at least I thought) only to be told that "I would have a hard time booting from this drive" even though I had set the root to boot. I've read that the 7896 is quirky in versions prior to 3.4 and have ordered 3.4 stable on cd. Will this cure my problem?
