Sorry for the off topic, but I'm facing a weird problem that must be solved in a hurry. So here it is: Last week my company bought 2 Seagate's Cheetah ST118202LC and I can't make it work on Adaptec's AHA2940U2W LVD channel, even with a LVD cable and terminator. Tips: Accordingly to http://www.seagate.com:80/support/disc/specs/scsi/st118202lc.html , this is a Ultra2 device. None of the two drives works on this channel, only on Wide SCSI capable one ( they worked too on one of my AHA2940UW ). If one of this drives are attached to LVD channel, the controller is unable to find any other device ( even, of course, with different devices id ). No problem was found running a IBM DCAS-32160W on the LVD channel ( and its possible since the only drawback is that this channel will only work with 40 Mbps of speed ). This might indicate that the controller is ok, at least dealing with Wide SCSI devices. My AHA's bios is the most updated one: 2.57 ( re-updated today ). I've been searching on the web and the only thing I've found is that the first ones Seagate's Cheetah had a internal error dealing with its parity check option enable. I tried to disable it but it still didn't work. Any comment will be very helpful; -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Gilson de Paiva Domingos Martins mailto:npd@el.com.br Brazil http://www.el.com.br/ E&L Producoes de Software http://www.FreeBSD.org/ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
