I'm seeing roughly the same thing here. I've been trying to sort it out for about a week now. I'm running: Mylex MGPT-PNTM-B motherboard, dual PII/233CPUs, 128Mb memory Adaptec 29160 (u160 host adaptor) I've tried Seagate ST318404LW, ST318404LC and ST39103LW drives Just for kicks I'm going to try an IBM u160 after I finish this email. I've tried swapping out cables, terminators, etc. (all LVD compliant) I've tried RH7 out of the box as well as 2.4.0-test10 with the alpha version of the new aic7xxx driver found at http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux Any time I _really_ abuse the I/O subsystem (i.e. something like bonnie -s 2047) the system locks up and never comes back. The SCSI activity light is locked on solid -- something is hung out there. There is *no* activity at all. I know what I'll be working on the rest of this week... :-( --Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
