Hello all;
I have installed an LSI Logic SCSI adapter card and have attached to it
two 18GB Maxtor 15k SCSI hard drives.
These drives are 80 pin drives and I have obtained adapter boards to
convert the 80 pin connectors to 68 pin ribbon
cable for connection to the SCSI adapter (these adapters are from
Cables To Go). This adapter is made for a 64 bit PCI slot. I only have
32 bit PCI slots. I was told via tech support response e-mail from LSI
Logic that I could use the adapter card in 32 bit slots but with
reduced performance. About an inch of the card connector tab hangs off
the end of the PCI slot.
The following has been culled from dmesg.boot, /var/log/messages, and
transcribed from shutdown messages:
From dmesg.boot

Here is output from var/log/messages re SCSI:
Feb 1 01:57:40 AMD64 kernel: Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to
settle
Here is transcription of shutdown messages:
mpt1: Soft reset failed: device not running
mpt1: WARNING - Failed hard reset!
mpt1: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event 0x6149.
The operating system has hatled.
Press any key to reboot.
Perhaps it would take an engineer to look at this and give me advice
but;
There is no entry for any da device indicating that the drives are not
detected
but the adapter is.
Drives start up with a clattering sound (somewhat like the sound I
associate with
roulette wheels...um...dicey?) and it's unclear if they are in fact
running.
Um you need to rule out hard drive problems before you blame the
controller card or FreeBSD, because clattering sounds and hard drives
don't usually mix.
Check that the drive(s) spin up ok, the best way to do this is to
remove the case and put your ear to the drive.
Check at boot that the SCSI BIOS detected the drives. Also go into the
SCSI BIOS and see if there is an option to format them or to run diag
tests on the drives.
Do you have SCSI controller utilities diskettes and/or the hard drive
diag software from maxtor? use them. Download a copy of UBCD and try
it.
