My 2930u2 has a single peripheral attached to it: a WDE 18300 LVD hard disk. The Adaptec SCSI-Select utility can see the drive, format it, and verify it without any problems. Unfortunately, the aic7xxx driver goes into an infinite reset loop during initialization. Here's some typical output...

(etc.) Driver compiled-in or modularized, the result is the same, which I think is a good thing as far as consistency of behavior :-). Anyone have any suggestions as far as things to check/try? The 2930u2 adapter settings have their default values, except that the BIOS is disabled since this isn't my primary SCSI controller (yet). As far as aic7xxx driver parameters, I'm not currently passing any. The TCQ compile-time option is set to disabled because of an explicit mention of problems with TCQ and WDE drives. Linux kernel version is 2.4.0-test[3,4]. -- Bob Tracy rct@wlk.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
