>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386
>Environment:

	ASUS P55T2P4, Pentium 166 MMX, Adaptec 2940U Bios Ver.1.23
	64MB Memory, 1x Quantum Atlas 2GB, 1x IBM 1GB, 1xQuantum Atlas 2GB
	Plextor CDROM, HP 6020i Worm, Archive Viper Tape, Jaz SCSI
	Version FreeBSD-2.2_STABLE, last update today via CTM from 
	ftp.freebsd.org, kernel compiled today
	(Last ctm upgrade included is now src-2.2.0241.gz)

	This is a followup to my bug report from April 15,1997

	Justin T. Gibbs pointed out, that my newer Quantum ATLAS may have
	faulty firmware. The firmware release was L912. I updated the disks
	firmware to L915, as you can see below ..

	Apr 17 20:25:10 atlantis /kernel: (ahc0:2:0): "Quantum XP32150W L915" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
	Apr 17 20:25:10 atlantis /kernel: sd2(ahc0:2:0): Direct-Access 2151MB (4406960 512 byte sectors)

>Description:

	The error did *not* disappear:

	Apr 17 20:23:32 atlantis /kernel: sd2(ahc0:2:0): SCB 0x3 - timed out while idle,
		 LASTPHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI == 0x0
	Apr 17 20:23:32 atlantis /kernel: SEQADDR = 0xa SCSISEQ = 0x12 SSTAT0 = 0x5 SSTAT1 = 0xa
	Apr 17 20:23:32 atlantis /kernel: sd2(ahc0:2:0): Queueing an Abort SCB
	Apr 17 20:23:32 atlantis /kernel: sd2(ahc0:2:0): Abort Message Sent
	Apr 17 20:23:32 atlantis /kernel: sd2(ahc0:2:0): SCB 3 - Abort Completed.
	Apr 17 20:23:32 atlantis /kernel: sd2(ahc0:2:0): no longer in timeout

	Apr 17 20:25:46 atlantis /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): SCB 0x0 - timed out while idle,
		 LASTPHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI == 0x0
	Apr 17 20:25:46 atlantis /kernel: SEQADDR = 0x7 SCSISEQ = 0x12 SSTAT0 = 0x5 SSTAT1 = 0xa
	Apr 17 20:25:46 atlantis /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): Queueing an Abort SCB
	Apr 17 20:25:46 atlantis /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): Abort Message Sent
	Apr 17 20:25:46 atlantis /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): SCB 0 - Abort Completed.
	Apr 17 20:25:46 atlantis /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): no longer in timeout

	As you can see, the error occurs for both disks, as before. If the
	firmware were the problem, it should at least disappear for the
	second (updated) disk. Btw. I don't think I can update my older
	Quantum ATLAS (sd0) because it has a very different firmware. I 
	faxed a question about updating the older disk to Quantum, but I
	did not receive an answer yet. But as far as I know only the firmware
	release L912 had problems, not *all* older releases.
  

>How-To-Repeat:

	As in the original report from April 15th, 1997

>Fix:

	Unknown
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
