Now, when I boot, I see two strange messages: Bad SMBIOS table checksum! ... ahc0: rev 0x01 int a irq 5 on pci0.10.0 ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc1: rev 0x04 int a irq 11 on pci0.12.0 ahc1: Illegal cable configuration!!. Only two connectors on the adapter may be used at a time! ahc1: aic7895 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc2: rev 0x04 int b irq 11 on pci0.12.1 ahc2: Using left over BIOS settings ahc2: aic7895 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs I searched the archives. Several people reported the bad checksum but nobody ever replied with an answer. The second illegal cable config also showed up in the archives only once but again without an answer. Anyone made any progress on fixing these? The machine boots and all seems ok, so at least they're not fatal. -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
