Good and bad news: Good: Found the boot problem. Turns out that I moved BIOS boot devices before the SCSI drives in the BIOS, to boot of the LSI firmware floppy. That made an ATA drive the first drive to be probed. Even though I cycled through the boot loader chain to the right (SCSI) disk, it then wouldn't boot. I moved the SCSI drives before the BIOS devices again, and now it boots fine. (Still strange, since all drives have the 4.6 boot loader installed, but anyway, it boots again.) Bad: I still get timeouts with the 1.00.12 firmware. And, unlike before, my drives only attach at 80MB/s - and this is with the patch to scsi_all.c that I initially forgot yesterday. At boot time, the 1.00.12 firmware detects my drives as 80MB/s but posts a note along the lines of "these drives will support 320MB/s once the OS is loaded". The older version detected them as 320MB/s at boot, and so did FreeBSD. Windows XP with the 1.00.12 firmware, on the other hand, runs the drives at 320MB/s (according to the LSI utility). mpt0: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0xdc00-0xdcff mem 0xff6a0000-0xff6bffff,0xff6c0000-0xff6dffff irq 18 at device 12.0 on pci3 mpt1: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xff660000-0xff67ffff,0xff680000-0xff69ffff irq 19 at device 12.1 on pci3 ... da0 at mpt1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <SEAGATE ST336732LW 2223> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 34732MB (71132959 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 4427C) da1 at mpt1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da1: <SEAGATE ST336732LW 2223> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da1: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 34732MB (71132959 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 4427C) Lars -- Lars Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> USC Information Sciences Institute
