When attempting to install FreeBSD on a Intel 486DX4-100
(Zeos Motherboard) with an Adaptec 2842VL (VLB board ), the 
kernel reboots after probing the scsi bus.
All scsi termination is correct. Only a 9GB Seagate disk and an
Exabyte 8100 are on the chain. 
Machine has functioned properly for years under heavy usage with OS/2.

happens every time.

 VESA Local Bus? I think FreeBSD does not support VESA Local Bus
 cards. But, on the other hand, I had it running with VLB EIDE and
 video cards in the past... Still, I'm seriously suspecting the card
 might not be supported.
 
 On the other hand, FreeBSD pushes the card *MUCH* harder than OS/2.
 You just might have the card set to a bus speed above what it really
 supports, and OS/2 never exercised it that much.

 From the FreeBSD Hardware Install page: 
 (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html#INSTALL-HW )
 
 "Adaptec 274x/284x/2940/2940U/3940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series
 EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI controllers "
 
 The boot process does find my card ( though it calls it an EISA card )
 and finds my Harddrive
 and tape drive with correct geometry, etc. Everything behaves normally
 until it
 says "waiting for scsi devices to settle" and then after about four
 seconds it reboots.

 Has an install of a FreeBSD version newer than 3.0 ever been attempted
 on this hardware? Preferably FreeBSD 4.0 that is? VLbus hardware is 
 becoming rather exotic these days so I cannot test this myself.

 I too would like to report that on a system I have, currently running
 3.4-STABLE, which has an adaptec 284x VLbus SCSI adapter in it, does not
 boot 4.0-RELEASE, or 4.0-STABLE because the probe fails to finish (ie.
 the
 system locks up solid).
      
 Is the problem a pnp thing, or a vlbus thing?

 Hi Andy,
 
 My guess is to assume this has to do with the PNP stuff. But I'm not an
 expert in this matter. Thanks for your feedback, it should give
 PNP-cluefull people more background.
