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... ;-). cu Gerrit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
