I've been having the same trouble with a Quantum Atlas. Wide SCSI is really futzy about termination. Make sure, then make certain again, then check again, that you are terminated correctly (get termination power from the drive on the end of the chain) at both ends of the SCSI chain. This morning I'm going to replace the Atlas, because, it just is bad. You're disk might be too. > >vx0 <3Com 3c590 EtherLink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 14 on pci1:8 > >utp[*UTP*] address %D > >Warning!

Don't know, maybe the xv driver doesn't know to look it up until ifconfig does its business. > >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..

The 2930UW is doing the best it can to try to talk to the Seagate. It's the same error as above. Fix the termination or replace the drive. Paul. -- Paul T.
