I used FBSD 2.1.7.1 prior as a server system at our institute and switched then to FBSD 2.2.2. Since then I have big trouble with the NCR SCSi controler! Before upgrading such errors never occured! While booting the kernel I obtain errors on several devices, mostly the SCSI controler itself. The device produces an error like nrc0:0:0: fatal error or restart or couldn't get size or anything else (size-errors only in the case probing fails on a device, not on the controler itself). The other problem regards toward the backup. Using a Wangtek ES5525 tape drive using FBSD 2.1.7.1 I could read, write and move back the backups I made. Now it's impossible to replace the stuff on the tape. What happened? Is FBSD 2.2.2 that unreliable that it has problems with SCSI device/controlers? Any help is welcome!
