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?
