Hi everyone, A few days ago I decided to swap out my Symbios (NCR) 53c810 PCI SCSI card for a faster Symbios (NCR) chipset one. As a result, I decided to go for the Diamond Fireport 40 which uses the NCR 53c875 chipset. From the docs, I thought the 875 was supported... The problem is that the FreeBSD driver does not seem to work on this card and chokes with a command failed error. I'm using a Seagate Hawk 4GB SCSI-2 Hard Drive with FreeBSD 2.2.6. So I decided to try out the new 3.0 beta (boot.flp) and it also chokes on the ncr boot probe for the hard drive. Here are the relevant lines: on FreeBSD 2.2.6... ncr0 <ncr 53c875j fast 20 wide scsi> rev 4 int a irq 12 on pci0:11 sd0(ncr0:2:0):COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f0692c00 ncr0: aborting job... ncr0:0: ERROR (90:0) (8-a6-0) (0/5) @ (script a0:43000060). ncr0: script cmd=878b0000 ncr0: regdump:da 00 00 05 47 00 02 0f 71 08 00 a6 80 00 00 02. ncr0: restart (fatal error). <this keeps repeating...> On FreeBSD 3.0 beta (booting from the boot disk) ncr0: restart (scsi reset) (probe 4: ncr0:0:4:0):.CDB: 12 1 80 0 ff 0 (probe 4: ncr0:0:4:0):ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24.0 (probe 4: ncr0:0:4:0): ncr0:2:ERROR (0:11) (9-ae-0) (f/3d) @ (script 6cc:19000000) ncr0: script cmd=89030000 ncr0: regdump:da 10 80 3d 47 0f 04 0f 03 09 82 ae 80 00 0e 00 ncr0: have to clear fifos. ncr0: restart (fatal error).
