In my previous post I was running 2.2.2-RELEASE straight from the
Walnut Creek CDROM.
I've then downloaded 2.2-970914-RELENG thinking it would have a newer
(better ?) set of drivers for the aic7xxx stuff. I extracted just the
aic* files and directories, made a few mods to files.i386 and built a
new kernel with them, ie. primarily a 2.2.2-RELEASE kernel with the
aic stuff from 2.2-970914-RELENG.
The results are below, there seem to be less errors and no SCSI Bus
reset this time.
Would I now be correct in concluding that its probably not the
aic7xxx driver (et al.) but a more likely a SCSI termination problem
?
