I recently put together a system based upon the Tyan Thunder 2
motherboard, which has on-board an Adaptec AIC 7895 SCSI controller.
(This is supposed to be "equivalent to a 3940-AUW", to quote the
motherboard documentation. Strangely, the Adaptec web site seems to
contain no info on the AIC 7895.)
I am attempting to get this SCSI controller to play with FreeBSD,
starting from 3.0-971022-SNAP.
By adding some printf's to the code for aic7870_probe() in aic7870.c,
I was able to determine an appropriate PCI ID for the card, and then I
added a new constant for that file:
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_ADAPTEC_AIC7895 0x78959004ul
I added a new case to aic7870_probe():
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_ADAPTEC_AIC7895:
return ("Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI host adapter");
break;
And I added a new case to ahc_pci_attach():
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_ADAPTEC_AIC7895:
ahc_t = AHC_394U;
if ((aic3940_count & 0x01) != 0) {
/* Odd count implies second channel */
ahc_f |= AHC_CHNLB;
}
aic3940_count++;
break;
This is not enough to get the card working.
Here is the dmesg output from a boot with -v:
ahc0: <Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0x03 int a irq 19 on pci0.15

>From this point on, there is much more of the same, and it appears to
be recognizing a device uk#N at every lun of every target of the bus,
though the timeouts are so long I have not had the patience to
actually let the thing go all the way.
Any advice as to what is going wrong and possible next steps would be
mightily appreciated....
Thanks,
sts
