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 rev 0 int a irq 15 on pci0:17 >ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs >ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle >(ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST15150N 0020" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 >sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 4095MB (8388315 512 byte sectors) >ahc0:A:5: refuses WIDE negotiation.

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 replaceable unit: 1 >, 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.
