I have just got myself a new Seagate 2GB SCSI drive (2XL W Ultra) and am having problems getting things to work with it. This is my first foray into the world of SCSI disks so I don't exclude the possibility of doing something stupid. The drive is terminated properly as far as I can tell and the controller is configured to terminate automatically. Since this is the only SCSI device I have I think it should be OK. The Adaptec SCSISelect messages on bootup suggest that the drive is detected OK (gives model#, drive designation etc. so that part of it looks OK. If I boot to DOS (using my IDE disk) it seems to take too long after the starting msdos... message but eventually I get a prompt. This delay also happens if I boot to my old IDE installation of FreeBSD (2.1R) before getting the boot prompt. If I run fdisk under DOS it hangs for a while and then returns a prompt. fdisk /status says no fixed disks installed (even though I booted from one). Booting to FBSD gives the following relevant dmesg lines: ahc0 rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:17 ahc0: aic7870 Ultra Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, aic7870, 255 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST32155W 0528" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 2049MB (4197405 512 byte sectors) If I boot FBSD from a boot.flp disk (2.1R) I get the same messages during the boot sequence but never get to the install menu. Looking at the second console (Alt-F2) I see these messages: ahc0: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out sd0(ahc0:0:0): BUS DEVICE RESET message queued ahc0: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset#1. 1 SCBs aborted This has all got me quite confused so I would appreciate any insights you may have. Other relevant hardware is: 100MHz pentium PCI Triton I motherboard. Award BIOS Diamond Stealth 64 PCI display card.
