It is not a Have a look at ahc(4), /usr/src/sys/pci/aic7870.c, etc. There are serveral options to play with. The 2940's got lots of knobs in the bootup menu too, one is to disable ultra, maybe that'll do it... ahc(4) warns about some drives (Quantum?) not working properly if the speed is set to wide open. I just got a QuickTech motherboard with on-board aic7860; it's not quite as good as the stand alone version, but it seems ok. I haven't done a `make world' yet, but several kernel compiles. What version of FBSD are you running? I've got problems using 2.1.5 with a Quantum ultra scsi driver on the ncr driver... it won't even boot. But -current/2.2 works fine. It's not a problem because we're going to use 2.2 anyway... > >-Brandon Gillespie > eric. -- erich@lodgenet.com http://rrnet.com/~erich erich@rrnet.com
