Subject:   panics using Pioneer 624/adaptac 1522

Is my combination of adaptec 1522/Pioneer 624 supposed to be reliable 
with 5/1/96?

With linux I get very fast failures. (and panics).

With freebsd, I get sparser failures (but also get panics)

How do I save/find what was printed out in the panic?


This seems to be happening when I try an mount an empty slot:
WARNING: / was not properly dismounted.
cd1(aic0:2:1): timed out
aic: invalid reselect (idbit=0x 4)
aic at line 2077: identify failed
# 

And after that, the next mount fails with a panic
(fata trap 12)

This seems like a consistent sequence:
	mount some slots (works fine)
	mount an empty slot (mount fails with the above error)
	mount another slot (panic...)

Is there a way to not have automatic reboots after panic?  Or what
do I use to get to the cause of the panic after a reboot (if I can).
Linux has a utility (ksymoops) which I found useful...its takes the
output of the panic and figures out where it is in the current kernel...

Another problem is after this my / file system seemed to have major
problems
(fsck failed, I did an fsck -y and fixed about 30 errors).

After, I was missing 
	/usr
and
	/dev/ttyp[0-9] had strange ownership/permissions
[along with other problems I probably haven't found yet].

When I tried to rsh into the machine (everything else appeared to be working)
I got: "not enough ptys"

So I removed ttyp[0-9], did mknod (looking at anouther freebsd 2.1 system)
[MAKEDEVICE ttyp0 appear to work), rebooted, and -- the same thing...
