I'm facing a problem with FreeBSD 1.1
and a 1542CF controller.

The Adaptec controller has an internal
Disk and an external CD, connected with
a terminated cable.

After some activity on the CD, if I try
to recompile the system (intense disk
activity) it seems that the system get
wrong charactes from files and the "make depend"
or the compilation fail in random points.

At least one time I was able to verify that
the content of a file changed: the first
character of a source was "." instead of "/"
(it was a line like "/* text */" becoming
"./ text */"). After a reboot the file
was back to its original content.

So I supposed the problem could be the SCSI
bus. I double checked the FAQ against the controller
configuration and all things looks ok.
The only doubt is about cable and terminator.

Thank in advance for any clue or suggestion, Peppe.
