Plug & play was disabled in the adapter BIOS. The initial FreeBSD installation was made from a SCSI CD-ROM using the Adaptec 1520B controller, and there were no problems. Tape rewind, eject commands etc work fine with the controller, however when using tar to copy files to the tape I am getting a 2 minute operating system freeze where num lock and caps lock will not work, I sometimes even had the hard drive light stay on for the duration of the 2 minute freeze. After 2 minutes I reveived the following error messages, and then the system returned to normal: st0(aic0:2:0): ABORTED COMMAND info:2800 asc:4b,0 Data phase error tar IO error message st0(aic0:2:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info:1 asc:44,0 Internal target failure I tried the same card in a 486/66 with 2.2.2-RELEASE and encountered a similar freeze except that the numlock would work however no key input was accepted, ie ALT F2 to swap virtual console did not work. I tried the same card in the 486/66 with 2.1.7-RELEASE and encountered a freeze except that I could swap virtual screens, however no key input was accepted. In all instances the error messages were the same, and the computer returned to normal after the messages. Is this Adaptec 1520B supported by FreeBSD or do I have a fault with the controller? I replaced the 1520B with a 1542 controller and all is working fine. Thanking you in advance. Regards Craig Wilson NATIONAL SOFTWARE PTY.LTD.
