hello,
I know that this is not totally in all ways freeBSD's doing but as I am
new to most of the UNIX world I would like to
see if you have any more expertise than I in this matter. I have an
adaptec 1542cf SCSI adapter that I installed and configured today. The
only thing on the adapter is an older mountain 4mm DAT(identified as
WANG DAT).
I configured the kernel with aha0 and port 0x234 and the rest left
default as it was in the kernel. Upon config, make , install and reboot
the SCSI adapter seems to get initilised fine .. Dmesg prints this
message:
aha0 at 0x234-0x237 irq 11 drq 7 on isa
aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
and the tape drive gets started with the following message which also
seems normal:
(aha0:6:0): "WangDAT Model 3100 02.2" type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0(aha0:6:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x13, drive empty
well the drive isn't empty though. but other than that no errors occur
untill I try to do anything with the
drive. I try any command ..mt tar newfs..etc. and the device times out
giving me the following message:
st0(aha0:6:0): timed out
st0(aha0:6:0): timed out AGAIN
The tapes in the drive are from an old Novell server (bleh) and I wish
to use them for my purposes. They are pretty
new with very few back ups to them. I have searched the mail archives
and found one instance of the same message but the user's tape drive
worked for awhile and there was no response to his letter. Ive heard in
the Linux enviroment that the 1542 "C" series has problems with the
cables...impedance maybe I don't quite remember. But before I persue
this Im wondering since the rest of BSD's configuration was a dream and
handled by people who apparently knew their stuff, that you would have
heard of this problem before and might possibly know another solution to
fix it.
As far as I can tell there is no other device(s) using IRQ 11 nor trying
to use the base address of the scsi card.
The bios is disabled on the card by the looks of the switch on the card.
in my experiance which is not much I don't know what else to persue. Can
anyone tell me what I might be able to do to further diagnose or fix
this? Ill suply my entire dmesg if that helps any.
