Hi there, We're attempting to do some tests for a potential rollout of a new service, and we really want to use FreeBSD with FC-AL storage. We checked the hardware compatibility lists, and decided to go with a QLogic QLC-2200 PCI Fibre Channel controller. The card has been installed, and the BIOS works just fine. However, when we attempt to boot from the 3.3-RELEASE CD, the kernel recognizes the card during the device probe, but hangs with the following message: ... Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle isp0: Firmware State Config Wait -> Loss Of Sync ... At this point, my only choice is to reboot. Our hardware profile: Tyan Thunderbolt (S1837) ATX motherboard 768MB RAM Onboard Adaptec AIC-7896 dual-channel U2W SCSI controller Seagate boot disk (ST39103LW, 9GB) on channel B, ID 0 Qlogic ISP2200 PCI card If I remove the Qlogic 2200 card, the machine boots gracefully. Is my only choice here to boot with some sort of Fibre Channel disk attached? Ours have not arrived yet, so I can't test whether or not the kernel will finish loading if the card is connected to a loop. -- Michael S.
