Well, lets see: } I have an NCR 825 PCI disk controller. I just attached a second disk } to the controller and am trying to access it. The second disk works } just fine under dos, but not freebsd-current. I am getting the following } errors: } } sd1(ncr0:1:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted } , retries:4 } sd1(ncr0:1:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted } , retries:3 } sd1(ncr0:1:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted } , retries:2 } sd1(ncr0:1:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted } , retries:1 } sd1(ncr0:1:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted } , FAILURE } sd1: error reading primary partition table reading fsbn 0 (sd1 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 s } n 0) This particular HP drive (the C3724S) is known to cause problems with tagged commands. Please rebuild your kernel with options "SCSI_NCR_DFLT_TAGS=0" and everything will be fine again. You can reenable tags for the first drive using # ncrcontrol -s tags=0 -s tags=4 I'd be really interested to understand what is going wrong here, since this is the only drive known to cause that kind of problem. The driver sends the command and the drive its reply just fine, but this reply indicates that the drive doesn't accept a tagged command, though it did inidcate support for this feature before. } Any clues as to what to try/do next? The boot up information follows. } I am not sure why I am getting the probe0(ncr0:9:0) errors either. This is a result of your building the kernel with "options SCSIDEBUG" and having a target of 9 selected in "/sys/scsi/scsi_debug.h". Please change this '9' into a '1' and send the boot log, since this may help me understand the reason for the incompatibility. If you are interested in getting this resolved, I'd need you to do a few more tests later. But you may choose to use the drive without tagged commands instead, it will still be fast enough :) Regards, STefan -- Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 ============================================================================== http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~se <se@ZPR.Uni-Koeln.DE>
