Hi,
  I am runnign FreeBSD-1.0.2, just freshly reinstalled after an old SCSI-2
Micropolis 2112 failed at powering up, and I got one replacement.

  However, this new drive does boot up nicely in a short while (a few seconds).
The problem is when I run some programs that do a lot of disk access or let
it sit there for a long time, I always get the follwing errors logged onto
consoles :

ah0:device 0 timed out
sd0:illegal request
ah0:device 0 timed out
ah0:device 0 timed out
ah0:device 0 timed out
.
.
.
and it just hangs there !

  I am running 486DX/33 with Adaptec 1542C SCSI adapter, together with another
VLB SVAG-IDE-and-multi-i/o card where a Conner CP3544 is connected.

  Does someone know is this a disk problem (well, it is a new drive), the
SCSI adapter problem, or software problem ?

  Please email me, it's urgent. Many thanks in advance!
