You have been great help. I believe this is not a Tekram problem. It more likely
is in the FreeBSD driver to deal with 64-bit PCI. It also may be a problem
between
SYM and other SCSI drivers as you indicated you only had SYM driver in the
kernel.
The ASUS P2B I used acturally is P2B-LS, which has an Adaptic SCSI controller
on board. Even after I took 390U3W out, FreeBSD 4.6 still cannot be installed on
this motherboard. It loops forever after probe SCSI --
Waiting 6 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
kernel spits something related to "aic" controller again and again.
I will remove all other SCSI drivers from the kerenl and try again.
Thanks,
