Re: 2.4.0+aic7xxx doesn't boot, 2.2.17 OK

[Anders Peter Fugmann]

I saw the exact same problem on my Adaptec scsi controller.

I initially solved the problem setting the data transfer rate from 
80Mb/s to 40MB/s, but I see that yours is already 40MB/s, so this is not 
an option for you.

Later I saw an announcement from Justin T. Gibbs, who, I beleive, is 
currently developing an opensource driver for Adaptec.
You can find his patches for the Adaptec aic7xxx driver, for both 2.4.0 
and 2.2.8 at: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/

The patch makes all problems go away, and all my dics on the Adaptc 
controller is now running at full speed. (Great job Gibbs.)

I hope this helps you.
