problems with onboard SCSI on Intel SE7501HG2 motherboard

[Bruce Campbell]

I am trying two Intel SE7501HG2 motherboards which
have an onboard Adaptec AIC-7902W controller, with
FreeBSD.

Here is what I see:

 4.7-RELEASE  (during attempt to install from CD) : 

    ahd0 : warning chip reset failed....
      detected as "7901A Ultra 320 adapter"
    (and sysinstall finds no disk drives.)

 4.8-RELEASE

    installs, but on reboot I usually see:

      May 23 13:21:27 file1 /kernel: (ahd0:A:4:1): refuses synchronous 
negotiation. Using asynchronous transfers

    and it hangs.  One time it booted up, I ran some tests, and
    eventually got a bunch of:

      May 24 01:52:33 file1 /kernel: Copied 18 bytes of sense data offset 12: 
0x70 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x16 0xbf 0xa 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

    then it rebooted itself, and hung.

 5.0-RELEASE

   After "waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle" it gives:

    (probe4:ahd0:0:4:0): Now packetized.
    (probe3:ahd0:0:3:0): Now packetized.
    (probe2:ahd0:0:2:0): Now packetized.
    (probe1:ahd0:0:1:0): Now packetized.
    (probe0:ahd0:0:0:0): Now packetized.
    (probe5:ahd0:0:6:7): SCB 0x9 - timed out

    LQOSTAT1[0x0] LQOSTAT2[0x1]:(LQOSTOP0)

   but it seems to boot up, I haven't tested much.


 5.1-BETA2 (during attempt to install from CD)...

   Long delay after "waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle"
   and then a fair number of messages too many to write down
   including "integer device fault while in kernel" and then
   into a "db>" monitor.


I see lots of recent work in:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/

which I have not yet tried.


Is anyone having luck with the onboard SCSI on this motherboard ?
