I upgraded the bios to build 15728 but still am having issues. What firmware build were you using before you tried 15728? I've done a lot of testing with 3405 / 3805 controllers and haven't managed to crash the controller. Most of my testing has been with firmware 12814, which is admittedly somewhat old. > there is also a large file called arcerror.txt, I wont include the whole > thing but the last line is: > > Sat 26Apr2008 (tz=0) > 08:10:21.697145000 arcconf: ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach.cpp: Line #: 745 > StorLib::getSystemConfig() > ArcSystem::buildChildren(Ret & retOUT) > ArcAdapter::buildChildren(Ret &retOUT) > > ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach::ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach( > Channel *pChannelIN, ...) > ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach::setFsaInfo() > > ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach::doScsiPassThru() > *** FSA API Error: > FsaSendScsiCommand > () fsaStatus=479 *** I've seen that as well and have asked Adaptec about it. They responded that those errors can be ignored -- they issue SCSI pass through commands to try to query something from the disk and that's failing. It just means that something might not be displayed for a device. - Ed
