I've built out several systems from 3.0-RELEASE that all seeem to manifest this problem. Two die on a regular basis. The third gets strange messsages but seems to stay up. Machines dying with "Invalidating pack" A) Pentium 100MHz 64MB RAM BusLogic 496 SCSI controller 4GB Connor SCSI (only device on the SCSI chain) Ethernet Floppy B) Pentium 120MHz 96MB RAM BusLogic 496 SCSI controller 1GB Connor SCSI (only device on the SCSI chain) Ethernet Floppy Machine with strange messages: Pentium II 330 MHz 128MB RAM HP SCSI CDROM Seagate 4GB SCSI (boot device) Seagate 9GB SCSI Ethernet The strange messages this machine is getting look like this: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): tagged openings now 64 (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): tagged openings now 63 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 64 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 63 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 62 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 61 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 60 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 59 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 58 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 57 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 56 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 55 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 54 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 53 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 52 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 51 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 50 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 49 but it hasn't crashed yet. Which is good, as this is my primary workstation. Machine B above has been updated to 3.0-CURRENT (as of last night), but still exhibits the problem. All are running the GENERIC kernel. --Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
