I have recently acquired a Yamaha CRZ6416sz SCSI CD-RW drive. I have an existing SCSI chain with a NCR 815 card, Seagate disk, and HP DAT drive; all those have been working fine. When booting the system with the new drive installed, I get some errors, and then the system halts. Running a kernel without the SCSI cd device configured gets the CD-ROM recognized by the pass driver without errors. I have double-checked the terminator, and tried other SCSI ids with no change. The drive appears to work fine in Windows. I have also tried adjusting the SCSI_DELAY timeout up to 20 seconds with no change. The specific errors I get are: cd0:ncr0:0:2:0: got CAM status 0x4a fatal error, failed to attach to device (cd0:ncr0:0:2:0) removing device entry then, I get the message ncr0: timeout nccb= (skip) I've also tried the drive in another FreeBSD system with an NCR 875 card, and it failed with the same messages, as did booting with the 3.3 boot disks. I haven't found anything very promising in the archives related to these NCR timeout problems; does anyone have any ideas, or do I have to go out and get a more expensive SCSI card? -- Jacob DeGlopper, FF/EMT-B, N3RHI jacob@mayhem.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
