Hi all. I have been having an awful time trying to put a pair of LVD drives into a server. After much trouble with a pair of barracudas with faulty write caches, I now have 2 IBM drives : da28 at ahc2 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da28: <IBM DMVS18V 0100> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da28: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da28: 17501MB (35843670 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2231C) da36 at ahc2 bus 0 target 8 lun 0 da36: <IBM DMVS18V 0100> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da36: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da36: 17501MB (35843670 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2231C) They are running on an adaptec 2940u2w: ahc2: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 18 on pci0.18.0 ahc2: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs I can newfs the 'c' partition, and mount it. But sysinstall refuses to see the drives. I know it is possible to do this by hand with command line utils, but it has been many years now sense I have done this, I wouldn't relish the idea. A friend told me he had this same trouble, he had IDE drives enabled, he disabled them and it stopped. I have IDE drives, so I tried this, no dice. It has been weeks I been fooling with this, drives being cross shipped, waiting until after 5 (so as not to bother the programmers). I am thinking of joining the french foreign legion soon. -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however, there is. - Unknown To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
