The kernel in 2.0.x (don't remember how long this behaviour was included, or if it changed) detected the card type using a signature in the BIOS. Does the card work in DOS? What version of the BIOS is on the card? What type of devices was connected to the SCSI bus? I think you could get the hanging at probe time by either having poor termination of the SCSI bus, or that the interrupts was set wrong (default setting of the card is to disable interrupts, but they are needed I think). It has however been a while since I had a look at the code. I want you to know that if you send me your card, it will not be returned for at least 6 months. So you would better be prepared to be without the ST02 for that period of time. Shipping to Sweden is also a bit expensive and slow (my FreeBSD subscription CDs cost approx $10 for shipping with surface mail). I guess its best to wait and see if anyone else living a bit closer has a card they can spare. best regards /Kent Kent Palmkvist email: kentp@isy.liu.se Dept. of Electrical Engineering http://www.es.isy.liu.se/staff/kentp Link=F6ping University SE-581 83 LINK=D6PING phone: +46 13 281347 Sweden fax: +46 13 139282 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
