Hi All!
I'm trying to build up a redundant architecture based upon FreeBSD.
So i bought a diskarray with room for 8 SCSI disks (SCA) and a couple of
PCs with LVD SCSI controller (ASB3940U2W-00).
I installed FreeBSD4.5 on both the PCs and connected the diskarray
trough a external SCSI3 (68pin) cable.
But ,as soon as i boot up the first PC, the kernel stopped at the very
beginning of SCSI scan ,and after a while ,it comes up with the
following message:
(probe0:adw0:0:8:0) ACB 0xcb781074 - timed out
and few minutes after that it panic.
No disk were probed at all.
I tried with many configuration even with a single disk on the array
,but without results.
Any clue about this?
Is it possible that the problem is somewhat cabling-related?
