I'm afraid they do not work fine. :-(
Every once in a while, it _hangs_ forever when it displays
"waiting for SCSI devices to settle" during boot (I'd guess
it happens at every 10th reboot or something like that).
This happens both with the Adaptec 2940-U2W and with the
onboard Adaptec U2W of an ASUS P2B-LS, using 3.1-RELEASE.
It's extremely annoying, because you cannot reboot such a
machine remotely and be sure that it comes up again. :-(
It renders the Adaptec controllers essentially unusable for
production use.
Is this bug known? Maybe even fixed in -STABLE?
Should I file a PR? Anything else I could do?
Regards
Oliver
