Dear STABLE users, below is a copy of my message to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc about the problems with adaptec 2940 UW/U2W cards. I would appreciate if anyone would have some ideas on what might be going wrong. I have observed this problem on 2 machines with the same hardware, so termination and cables should not be causing that. We have a Dell computer with the Phoenix bios and Adaptec 2940 UW card. This computer worked fine until I tried to replace Adaptec 2940UW with 2940 U2W. The card had internal scsi drive connected to the internal UW connector, and an external U2W LVD drive connected to the external U2W connector. Both drives were terminated. During the boot, I noticed the following error messages: Sep 27 21:59:22 dottie /kernel: (da3:ahc0:0:6:0): WRITE(06). CDB: a 0 8 3f 4 0 Sep 27 21:59:22 dottie /kernel: (da3:ahc0:0:6:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:47,0 Sep 27 21:59:22 dottie /kernel: (da3:ahc0:0:6:0): SCSI parity error field replaceable unit: 3 (scsi id 6 is the external drive). I played with various settings of the adaptec bios to no avail. First I thought that the card was bad. But then I tried replacing it with 2940 UW Pro (same as 2940UW, but faster transfer rate), and got an error on boot saying "Someone reset channel A". This message repeats indefinitely. All problems go away if I leave only the internal device on the scsi chain. Did anyone else have bad experience with these cards, or do you think this combination of adapted card + phoenix bios might be causing problems? Thanks!
