We're using a Dell Poweredge 4300 with FreeBSD 3.1,  and we've just
added a 36GB IBM disk.

Not strictly a FreeBSD question,  perhaps,  but this disk doesn't probe
right.  When the da driver tries to attach,  we get the following error:

(da3:ahc0:0:3:0): READ CAPACITY. CDB: 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
(da3:ahc0:0:3:0): NOT READY asc:4,2
(da3:ahc0:0:3:0): Logical unit not ready, initializing cmd. required
(da3:ahc0:0:3:0): fatal error, failed to attach to device
(da3:ahc0:0:3:0): lost device
(da3:ahc0:0:3:0): removing device entry

I'm not sure what's happening,  the following is the output from
camcontrol.

We've been on to Dell technical support,  and the answer we got was a
vague "reset the SCSI-BIOS to factory defaults - it's probably set up to
probe the disk as a tape drive".  I'm no SCSI expert,  but that sounded
weak to me.  (We tried it anyway,  and it didn't work :-).

The BIOS probe identifies the disk as IBM DRSH.  (The other disk in the
machine identified as IBM DRHS36D).  They are *supposed* to be the same
model - that's what it says on the disks.

I don't think it's just a bum disk,  because we accidentally ordered two
new disks (in addition to the one already in the machine)  of the same
type - tried them both - same result.  We've also tried other slots in
the backplane (different IDs).  The jumpers are set on the disk for
"Auto-Start" and "Disable Target Initiated Sync Negitiation".



Can anyone help to shed some light?


Thanks...

Please CC me on any replies,  and also my colleague (mjabali@mintel.com)
- it's Friday and I'm off down the pub - but he's in the States and has
another few hours on this yet :-).  I'll be back in tomorrow :-(.
