There is a patch that allows individual SCSI adapters to be disabled but that doesn't really fix anything because the SCSI adapters are still unusable. I would also suggest that the original PR is fairly devoid of useful information - there's no indication of the architecture being used, the model(s) of card that is causing the problem, whether it works with only one card installed etc. This required several round-trips via mjacob before any progress at all could be made. Lack of developer time is a serious issue with FreeBSD and the more time that has to be spent chasing up information that should have been in the original PR, the less time they have to actually fix the problem. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHhmFY/opHv/APuIcRArR5AJwICsdu0iKBYUY4gnADYo6a7hl9+wCePttj Hd4pnOa16EAYJi6MUggoqU0= =gHCz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1--
