Dear subscriber.
Today, I tried to install FreeBSD-2.1.5RELEASE on Dell Optiplex Pro.
Dell Optiplex Pro : PentiumPro 200MHz
440FX Pentium Pro Chipset
64M ECC RAM
Adaptec 2940UW with Seagate ST15150N 4G (SCSI ID : 0)
NEC CDROM (SCSI ID : 5)
On board 3C59X NIC (PCI Bus Mastering)
S3 Trio V+ 2M VRAM
Vibra 16 sound card (on board)
Install Process was smoothly done except for some odd messages.
>BIOS basemem (638K) != RTC basemem(640K)
What does this mean? Virus? :)
>ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 15 on pci0:17
>ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs

I looked up the mailing list archives and found that AHA-2940UW
is said to be supported.. but why my 2940UW refuses WIDE nego.?
I think it will surely degrade the performance for ST15150N..
>vx0 <3Com 3c590 EtherLink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 14 on pci1:8
>utp[*UTP*] address %D
>Warning! Defective early revision adapter!
I know that this warning message is meaningless.
But.. what about the ethernet address? ifconfig after booting shows
exact ethernet address for this 3c59X interface...
>sd0(ahc0:0:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0
>sd0(ahc0:0:0): Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred field

>, retries:2
Even more messages.. I can not understand the meaning..
The most serious problem is that of AHA-2940UW.
Why it is used with 8 bit transfer? Is ther any remedy?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
