Greetings,

I've been looking through the mailing list archives and I've noticed that
a lot of people have been experiencing the damn SCSI problems that I have
been having recently.

I'm currently running FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE on a P166 with 128MB RAM, an
Adaptec 2940 UW controller, 2 Quantam Atlases, 1 Quantam Grand Prix and an
IDE Quantum Sirocco.

The machine will lock up periodically, giving SCSI drive errors.  Here's
the errors I've been getting, the error as reported in /var/log/messages
and a copy of my dmesg output:

sd1(ahc0:5:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,1 retires: 4
SCB: 0x1 - timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI == 0x0

SEQADDR == 0x4
Queueing an Abort SCB
Queueing an Abort SCB

no longer in timeout

I've seen lots of discussion, but not solution on the lists.  Has one been
found?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
