I've tried the drivers on 4.0 CURRENT and the drivers do recognize the card,
and mostly work, but I've received a whole bunch of errors from the
card/driver.

Basically, I had problems when it actually started writing the files to the
disk.  It fscks it all properly, but after a few writes of the files, I get
errors like:

  ahc0:A:0 no active SCB for reconnecting target = issuing BUS DEVICE RESET
SAVED_TCL == 0x0, ARG_1 == 0x26, SEQ_FLAGS == 0x40
  ahc0: Bus Device Reset on A:0. 59 SCBs aborted

  (da0):ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x26 - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0xb
  (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queing a BDR SCB
  ahc0: WARNING no command for scb 38 (cmdcmplt)


I'm guessing that it's a problem with the driver.  The hardware seems to
check out.  Here's my system specs (relevant only):

BIOS and System Info:
  Adaptec 29160 Bios v2.55.0
  SCSI card on IRQ 10
  VIDEO on IRQ 11


FreeBSD boot msg (parts deleted for space):
  -ahc0 irq 10 device 2 on pci3

  -fxp0 on IRQ 11 pci 1
  -pci0 <unknown card> (vendor = 0x8086, dev = 0x2413) at 31.3 IRQ 9

I would appreciate any help... I've already started swapping out my 29160
for a 2940, so it's not of dire importance, but it's always nice to know
=:^).  If anybody needs more info I'll be glad to supply it.  BTW, I'm sorry
if this is the wrong list to post to, but list/questions didn't have a clue.

Thanks,
Andrew Riley
