Hi everyone. I originally tried to install 3.0-current-cam on a jaz disk. Somehow I ended up installing the non-cam version. Then I did a dumb thing, cvsup'd the source and tried to compile a kernel. Very bad things, and to make a long story short, I am starting over... I just got one of those new fangled LVD 9.1 Gig Cheetah drives. Finally something that my Adaptec 2940U2W will take advantage of... I ghosted my partions from my Quantum 6.4. 3 NTFS and 1 FAT partition. FreeBSD wouldn't instll. Said that it couldn't create /dev/X. Figures since I already had 4 primary partiions... Maybe this is an error that needs to be addressed in sysinstall. Anyway, I am all of a sudden getting: panic: ahc0: brkadrint Data Path Parity error at seqaddr = 0x17d This appears to be a bad thing since it auto-reboots. (The Panic part was the first clue) It happens when I am trying to boot from floppy with the latest boot CAM floppy from CAM-19980712-SNAP. The drive is the only one in the chain and I am using adaptec's cables with their active terminator built in. The drive works correctly in NT. I even yanked the cable for the SCSI-2 chain (6.4 gig drive, Jaz and CD-ROM) and it comes up with the same problems. So... Any ideas? Is it probable that this is a driver problem? What about a hardware problem? I know NT had problems with IRQs. Here is my hardware: Tyan Tiger 2 MB 2 x 300MHX P II processors Diamond Stealth G420 AGP graphics Adaptec 2940U2W PCI controller Seagate Cheetah 9.1G LVD SCSI drive Quantum Fireball 6.4 gig SCSI-2 drive IOMega Jaz Pioneer SCSI CD-ROM 3Com network card (for DSL internet connection) NE-32 Lance network card 196 MB RAM I can't think of anything else that is relevant to this problem... thanks -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
