I've been running FreeBSD 2.0 on a Gateway 2000 486SX25 ISA machine with no problems for about 2 months. It has an Adaptec 1542CF SCSI host adapter and one external 1Gb SCSI HD. Now, I have problems installing FreeBSD on a Mitac 486DX33 PC with EISA bus. It has EISA Adaptec 1740 SCSI host adapter and 2 SCSI hard disks. Under DOS, everything worked fine. I decided to get rid of DOS and install FreeBSD. I deleted all patitions on the disks using fdisk and started installation. When starting the computer, I get a message indicating that both HDs are detected: SCSI ID0 Installed SCSI ID1 Installed however, FreeBSD finds only the adapter but not the disks. I tried both FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE and FreeBSD 2.0-950112SNAP. I also tried to set the adapter to both standard and enhanced mode (in standard mode it's detected as 1540.) I borrowed an Adaptec 1540 (ISA) from my friend, and the disks were detected by FreeBSD. Is that the problem with that particular 1740 adapter or EISA adapters in general or I do something wrong? I'm confused and would appreciate any help/hints. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Serge Plyaskin splyaski@cmp.com Advanced Technology Center 516-562-5951 CMP Publications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
