Hi folks,

I was told that the gurus who might be able to solve my problem are here... :-)

I'm running FreeBSD 4.3-release and a TekRAM DC395U-SCSI-controller. Attached
devices are a Yamaha CDRW (internal) and an Olympus PowerMO (external). I
couldn't get the controller recognized by the drivers that came with FreeBSD,
so I downloaded and installed this one:

ftp://ftp.tekram.com/scsi/3X5/FreeBSD/FreeBSD400/dc395x_trm.tar.gz

After that, SCSI worked fine for me (CDRW is reading and burning, MOD is
working fine when it's probed while booting). The only thing that I'm having
problems with is "camcontrol rescan" which I would like to use to turn the MOD
off when I don't need it.

"camcontrol rescan" simply hangs. It can't be quit, neither with CTRL-C nor
with kill -9. I don't get any error-message. ps tells me that WCHAN is "cbwait
D+". In this state, the bus is still working fine. I can still burn CDs,
"camcontrol reset" is still working (at least is says so :-), "camcontrol
devlist" is still giving the devicelist that was probed when booting. 
The same thing happens when booting without the MOD attached and without
actually changing anything on the bus; rescan simply hangs.

Is anybody here who can enlighten me whether I'm doing something wrong, TekRAMs
driver is broken or something else? 
I was just about to buy a scanner, but as long as I can't get rescan to work I
should better think about USB than SCSI (or maybe get a different, better
supported controller before... ;-).
