Hi, I have the same board and the same problem: Cabling and termination are checked a thousand times and are ok. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jose L.

(I think its aic7xxx 5.1.0) > I was unable to boot the system from a 2.0.36 kernel diskette (build > from the 2.0.34 kernel, taken from Debian 2.1r3) So am I. Beginning with this kernel I am not able to get an working system. Sooner or later it goes in a loop prompting the following : (scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Referenced SCB 255 not valid during SELTO. SCSISEQ = 0x5a SEQADDR = 0x7 STATO =0x10 SSTAT1 = 0x88 (scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Referenced SCB 255 not valid during SELTO. SCSISEQ = 0x5a SEQADDR = 0x8 STATO =0x10 SSTAT1 = 0x88 .....never ending > I had success to boot from a custom 2.2.1 kernel diskette. Do you have the mother board CD? This is a bootable disk with a linux kernel (something about 2.1.xxx). But no change to get a shell. On iwill's homepage I get the newest Bios Update. This includes an update of the scsi bios (2.2 if I remember). With the SuSE 6.2 boot disk (kernel 2.2.10) I can boot and partition the disks. But when the install tool wants to mount the formatted partitions the system freezes and the same messages appears. Interesting: since the bios update the scsi speed changes. With the old scsi bios the uw disks run on 40 MB/s with the 2.0.34 kernel. Now the driver prompts something about 11.3 MB/s or so with the same kernel!? (The settings of the Adaptec BIOS are the same as they are before updating the bios). - I wonder if this problem is specific for the iwill board or the aic7895? - Are there anyone who had the same problems and was able to solve them? - what changes were made in the aic7xxx-code since 2.0.34 and 2.0.35? Any help would by great. Thanks Peter Knoblach To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
