When booting FreeBSD 2.0.5 the first time, it did not get past the `waiting for SCSI devices to settle' message (ctl-alt-del did not work). After playing with some BIOS-settings and disabling everything in sight, the system booted and then suddendly re-booted during the syscons setup. Sometimes I get parity errors and page faults, too. I have grepped the FAQ and some other documents for hints, but with no success. I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE, the transfer speed of the adapter is set to 3.3 MB/s (lowest possible), othet settings are IRQ 11, DRQ 5, Port 0x330. I also have tried to disable the BIOS. No difference. When the adapter is being detected, the driver says aha0: Unknown board-VD.0 before it (correctly) determines the board settings. Exactly the same system *does* work with an Adaptec 1522 and is stable since a few months. Any hints are welcome. Bye, nmh. -- /* Nils M. Holm <fs29@rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de> */
