The aic driver correctly probes and identifies the card and then correctly identifies the attached device. I have tried both a fujitsu disk and an exebyte 8200 configured for id 6, and in both cases the device is activated by the driver, i.e. the activitiy light comes on, but it never completes a single I/O operation. Eventually it times out with messages like the following: Feb 3 01:09:40 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 3 01:11:20 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 3 01:13:00 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out - or - Feb 2 23:47:46 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 2 23:49:26 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 2 23:51:06 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Are there any known problems with the aic driver and this card? I recompiled the kernel with the SCSI_DELAY option, but that didn't help. Should I bag the card and get a new one? I am leaning toward this being a hardware problem. thanks, Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| If I were stranded on a desert island, and System Administrator --->>>| I could only have one OS for my computer, Neurosurgical Visualzation Lab -->>| it would be FreeBSD.
