    Hi,

      I can't boot my FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE (both with the stock kernel and
    with a self-compiled kernel), if my AdvanSys SCSI Host Adapter (ISA,
    ABP5140) is installed. The problem was also there while installing
    FreeBSD, but I simply removed the SCSI card during the
    installation. Without the card everything works perfectly.

      Here is some output during the boot process: (I had to type it off
    the screen, because it got never written to disk. Anybody got a
    solution for this?)

    [...]
    adv1: AdvanSys SCSI Host Adapter, SCSI ID 7, queue depth 16
    adv1: <ABP5140> at port 0x110 iomem 0xc8000-0xcffff irq 10
    drq 5 on isa0
    [...]
    Waiting 10 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
    [After about 1 minute]
    (probe6:adv1:0:6:0): Timed out
    (probe6:adv1:0:6:0): Attempting abort
    (probe6:adv1:0:6:0): Timed out
    (probe6:adv1:0:6:0): Resetting bus
    adv1: No longer in timeout
    [After about another minute]
    (probe5:adv1:0:5:0): Timed out
    (probe5:adv1:0:5:0): Attempting abort
    (probe5:adv1:0:5:0): Timed out
    (probe5:adv1:0:5:0): Resetting bus
    adv1: No longer in timeout

      After that output I waited about half an hour (!) and nothing
    happened. I don't think that it makes sense to wait any longer.

      There is only one SCSI drive attached to the SCSI card: An internal
    Yamaha CD-Writer (4416). Its SCSI ID is 3. Changing the ID just
    results in a slightly different output. For example if I change it to
    6, the output is about timeouts on ID 3 and 5, instead of 6 and
    5. With Writer on 4 the output is about ID 3 and 2. And so on. I tried
    every SCSI ID, but none works. The SCSI termination is also configured
    correctly.

      But I don't think that this is a hardware related problem, because
    the same hardware configuration worked perfectly under Linux. (And some
    time ago it worked under Windows.)

      Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Leo
