I've searched around the archives for a solution to a now critial problem for us here. We're a small ISP and use lowly Intel PC's with UW SCSI's. We have been running fine under a wide range of FreeBSD verions over the last 2 years from 1.2.1 through 3.1r. In the past we had encountered an apparently unreferenced problem when trying to use AHA 2940UW bios revisions higher than 1.26 which caused the controller to either never load our drives or spend forever doing SCSI BUS Resets on Channel A. Our solution was simply to keep location BIOS rev 1.26 controllers. Unfortunately this has now become impossible. We had hoped that 3.1R would correct this problem but we have found it hasn't. And the only card Adaptec is shipping or that anyone has on their shelves now is BIOS rev 1.34.3. And it generates the same problem with or without a drive attached. We even tried setting an EIDE boot drive and then adding the controller with or without drive and it still hangs. Is there a solution or fix out there because this is a critical problem now for us.
