Hi,
I've been having a problem with one of the FreeBSD machines on our
network. It's the news server..
Sorry for the crosspost, btw.
Up until today it was a Cyrix 6x86 with 128M RAM, yada yada.. today's config
is:
- P-Pro 200, TYAN mb, 192Mb RAM
- FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE
- Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra/Ultra W BIOS v1.21
- 2x9GB ST410800W (News spool)
- Generic 500Mb, Generic 600Mb quantum HD (IDE) (System)
- 2x3COM 3C590 Etherlink III PCI rev 0 int a
It seems that the server doesn't like to stay online for more than a day
or so before rebooting. This has been the symptom since the day I rescued the
poor server from a life of servitude and slavery running an evil Micros***
product. No worry, I formatted the disks thrice. :-)
I'm looking at the messages file (I have them locally and across the network)
and this is the last thing I see before a reboot:
Apr 21 17:11:00 iagnews /kernel: sd1(ahc0:2:0): timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI == 0x0

Here's a dmesg:

bt0's there because I was going to replace the adaptec with a buslogic,
but then realized that the cabling was wrong.. :/
Anyhow.. I've seen a lot of talk on this, but no real answers.. Are adaptec
29xx's Satan-Spawn?
TIA all,
-jamie
