Well, most of you followed my thread[0] several days ago concerning problems installing 4.1-RELEASE on a Supermicro 370DL3 w/ AIC7892. Quite a few of you wrote back speaking of your own woes with the same board or other 7892 based U160 controllers, particularly 29160s. After much playing today I found a driver revision which worked and allowed me to do a full install of FreeBSD. It took making quite a few current snapshot install floppy sets before I found a working revision. I just kept looking through commit logs for src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/* until I found a good date to get the snapshot on. Here's my uname: moby# uname -a FreeBSD moby.structbio.vanderbilt.edu 5.0-20000827-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-20000827-CURRENT #0: Sun Aug 27 12:36:38 GMT 2000 root@usw2.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 If those of you having trouble with this hardware would try running this current snap or backporting the 1.47 revision of aic7xxx.c and the other aic7xxx files involved in that commit it would help constitute a good review for MFC. I'd like to get Justin to MFC his latest version of the driver ASAP, hint hint. I'm going to try running bonnie and/or rawio overnight and make sure I've got proof that the driver is good and stable on my hardware.
