(desperate plea) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've already tried the following on questions and scsi to no avail. Since I first posted I also found out the following: 1. The results are the same even if I leave just one disk connected (doesn't matter which). 2. WinNT 3.51 runs fine on this machine. In light of (2) above, this machine might end up running NT, which will make me (at least) very sorry. Any help is greatly appreciated. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 19:08:10 +0300 (IDT) From: Nadav Eiron To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: NCR 810 fatal errors during install. Hi people, We have here a DECpc XL 590 (it used to be a 466, but got upgraded recently). This machine has a Nepture chipset, built-in NCR 53C810, 32MB RAM and a DE435 ethernet card. On the SCSI bus I have: ID 0 - Quantum LPS340S (340MB disk). ID 1 - HP C3323-300 (1GB disk). ID 5 - Toshiba XM-4101TA (2x CD). All are recognized correctly during boot (both disks work at 10MB/sec). Both 2.2.2-RELEASE and 2.2-090801-RELENG installs give the following shortly after starting writing to the disks (either during newfs-ing them or while copying): ncr0:0: ERROR (20:0) (8-28-0) (8/13) @ (e18:18000140). script cmd = 88030000 reg: da 10 80 13 47 08 00 1f 01 08 80 28 00 00 08 00. ncr0: have to clear fifos. ncr0: restart (fatal error). sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @f0663c00. ncr0: timeout ccb=f0663c00 (skip) and then it just hangs. This machine used to work fine (without the HP disk though) when it had a 486 CPU under Win95 and NT, BTW. Can anyone make sense of that? TIA Nadav
