I have an issue here that is just about to make me start chewing carpet or gnawing furniture in frustration.
We build our own BSD servers - always have. Pretty much always with the same hardware.
The latest system I've built sporadically spews forth these messages on the console with reckless abandon:
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack
Occasionally, I get interspersed with this things like:
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x29 - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0x9 (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queuing a BDR SCB (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): no longer in timeout, status = 35b
The system is custom built as follows:
Asus P3B-F motherboard (both BIOS revisions 1004 and 1005) Adaptec 2940UW-Pro SCSI controller 1 Seagate 18Gb Baracuda drive 128Mb RAM Celeron 466MHz CPU (no overclocking!)
I have swapped out, individually, one at a time, each component of the SCSI subsystem - controller, cable, drive and terminator. I'm still getting the error message.
I pulled off the 4.0-RELEASE install that was on it and went back to 3.4-RELEASE; same problem.
After looking through the archives, I thought the 'Invalidating pack' message was a sure indicator of bad hardware/termination etc. Now I'm not so sure.
Anyone have some helpful suggestions?
Thanks,
Nick.
