Any attempt to install 4.0 Release ends up with a crash. The installation works fine until it starts copying distributions on the disk. It usually copies some files of the /bin part of the distrubution and than the machine hangs. Here is what I suceeded to put down before the screen scrolled away. ahc:A:0: no active SCB for reconnecting target - issuing BUS DEVICE RESET SAVED_ICL == 0x0, ARG_1 == 0x1d, SEQ_FLAGS == 0x40 ... some more error messages (I wasn't so fast) ... and finaly panic page fault syncing disc ... 709 709 709 ... ahc0: Interrupted for status of 0??? ahc0: WARNING no command for scb 29 (cmdcpplt) OUTPOS = 0 After that a hard reset was necessary. ---------------- On the other hand I suceeded to install 4.0 R on HP NetServer LH 3000, which is quite new model with AIC 7880 and AMI MegaRAID. I have 2 arrays defined - one RAID 0 (1x 9GB disk) and one RAID 5 (3x 18 GB disk) The only problem I experienced is that if I tried to partition these 2 logical disks as fully dedicated for FreeBSD the installation completed OK but the machine didn't boot saying "Read error" If I chose the partitionig as "remain cooperative with other OS" (even if there is no other OS) the problem disappeared. I think this observation can help to others. So now our new main fileserver runs FreeBSD (as well as any other server in our office) :-) Regards Mira To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
