I've tested the hardware with Win2k and it works properly, but with FreeBSD it does not. At boot-time, the kernel detects the aic0 device correctly, displays the info on it and goes on until it tries to detect the devices attached to it. Then it hangs and just stays there forever. A lot of messages saying it timed-out while trying to communicate with the device show up, but nothing else happens. The options/devices I added to the kernel config file are: device aic0 at isa? device scbus device cd options SCSI_DELAY=0 Although I also tried the GENERIC kernel (from the same tree I compiled my custom one, 4.7-PRERELEASE, Sept 13), and it hangs at the same point as my custom kernel, only difference being it tells you it's gonna wait 15 seconds for the devices to settle. The SCSI_DELAY=0 is intentional, as I read on the manpage that it'd reset the delay to the lowest possible, 100ms. I don't think the delay is the issue here, though, but if any of you can show me how that could be the problem, I'd really appreciate it. I tried searching for answers in both FreeBSD.org mailing lists and Google, but no success up to this moment. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or just can enlighten me as to get it fixed? Please CC any replies to me, as I am not subscribed to the list. Thank you all in advance, Fred PS: If other info on the system/hardware is needed, mail me and I'll send it. -- "The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else do it wrong without comment." -- Theodore H.
