   My news server running FreeBSD 2.1.5R and INN 1.4unnoff4 (with
/var/sppol/news mounted on a ccd logical volume) has been running fine for
months(except expire problems). All of sudden, Its crashed(today was the
third time), with message :

    "referenced scb not valid during scsi init"

At least this was the last message I saw before it rebooted.

  Is this a FreeBSD problem cropping up ? A failure in my Adaotec 2940UW
card ? A combination ?

 Hardware is a Petium Pro Asus motherboard, Adaptec 2940UW HBA, 128MB of
Parity Ram Quantum 4.3GB(7200RPM) disk drives...

 I remember Sun Solaris was having some problems with their Adaptec drivers
under heavy load a while back.

 Any help is appreciated.

 Thanks
