As far as I've read in the freebsd documentation, it supports Adaptecs in Thin, Normal and Wide models (but Ultra Wide is not mentioned). I think that FreeBSD should be able to use your Adaptec as an non-Ultra Wide, but than you should change your drive ID to an 3 bit (less than 7). > ahc0:A:0 refuses WIDE negotiation.

IMHO Hope this helps you solve your problem Vlada Mencl Faculty of Maths & Physics Charles University, Prague
