From: DNS Administrator To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: i386/11681: Adaptec 2940 UW SCSI Controller BIOS 1.34.3 wont work under 3.1R Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 13:53:45 -0400 This is right off the Adaptec main chip: AHA-2940UW, 945300-01 E, 9746 This is off the BIOS prom. 589217, r E, 9100, @ 1996, v1.32 The card works just fine in any Novel or Windows system. We upgraded the bios to 1.34.3 in an attempt to make it work. The system NEVER reaches a boot prompt it simply hangs retesting the SCSI bus with/without a drive attached. If you can give me a method to get a dmesg without reaching a prompt. >From: "Justin T.
