The server has an Adaptec AIC-7902 dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller which the i386 ahd(4) driver has listed as a supported device. I have been reading and searching this lists archives as well as the bsdforums.org site for possible solutions, but so far what I have found has not worked. I have tried disabling/enabling ACPI, removing all but one SCSI drive and re-checking the adapter settings comparing them to a different Adaptec controller on another server running FreeBSD 5.3 which works fine. The servers BIOS and firmware is all up to date and is mainly running on its default settings. Here is a summary of what I am seeing during bootup: Ata1-master : FAILURE ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle -------Dump Card State Ends------- (probe29:ahd1:0:15:0) SCB0xe timed out ahd0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset 4 SCBs aborted Any ideas?
