Hi,
I'm trying to Jumpstart a Supermicro server with the 5/09 release and getting
never-ending SCSI timeouts during device configuration.  After the kernel banner
is displayed, and it starts "Configuring devices", I see messages like:

WARNING: Timeout on target 0 lun 0. Initiating recovery

It will display that message several times for each target, then move on to the
next.  Since this is in the configuration stage, booting single-user doesn't
help, nor does booting with "-a" for interactive boot.  I've tried putting both
options in the menu.lst file like so:

kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-2/multiboot kernel/unix - install -a -s -B
(install_config etc. follow)

No matter what options I use, I get the same result-- neverending timeout.

The motherboard is a Supermicro P4DLR+ with onboard dual-channel Adaptec
AIC-7899W (PCI ID 9005:00cf), which should be supported by the cadp160 driver.
Obviously this is an older machine-- most of my other SCSI servers use the
adpu320 driver and I have no problem.  I believe this is my first attempt on
this SCSI chip.

Disks are 3 identical Seagate ST373207LC (Cheetah 10K.7) at targets 0-2 (3 front
hot-swap bays), and there is a SCSI processor on the backplane at ID 6.  All
devices are on channel A.  Channel B is unused.

I can see in the miniroot that driver_aliases is correctly mapping the device to
the driver.  What can I do to further troubleshoot my problem?

Thanks,
Eric
