Hi,
I just joined the UK FreeBSD group. So far, I have been an enthusiastic
and regular
user of FreeBSD. Unfortunately I ran into problems recently. These
problems
are related to my NCR53C810 SCSI controller. I am not quite sure, if it
is a hardware
and/or software problem.
Anyway: my PC configuration is as follows:
Pentium, Gigabyte Board, AMD 100 (133) MHZ chip
48 MByte RAM
NCR53C810 SCSI Controller
usual floppy drive
Elsa Winner 1000Trio Graphics card
disks and CD-ROM's
IDE: Quantum Fireball 2.1 GByte
SCSI: 1.) Toshiba CD-ROM
2.) Quantum Atlas II 2.1 GByte
3.) Quantum FireBall 4.3 GByte
The SCSI bus is properly terminated.
Operating Systems:
FreeBSD 2.2.5
Windows NT 4.0 (service-pack 3)
The problem is: the ncr-controller crashes occasionally and completely
randomly
with an ncr0:fatal error . It then gets a timeout and the machine hangs
and must
be rebooted. I do not get this failure with my Windows NT partition,
wich I also
installed on my PC. Does anyone have a clue what's going on? The NCR
controller
is about 4 years old and the Firmware version is 3.07.00.
Any suggestions are welcome
Regards
Peter
