bug in aic7xxx driver in OpenBSD 3.4



Hi,

It is my first post on this mailing list, so hello to everyone :)

This is the problem I got when installing OpenBSD on Intel-based
machine with three SCSI disks.

OpenBSD 3.4 aic7xxx driver didn't detect geometry of two of my SCSI
disks.  The message I got was "mode sense (4) returned nonsense: using
fictitious geometry" and my disks were assigned negative size.

I think this is a bug, because the same hardware worked well with Linux
2.4.23 aic7xxx driver and with FreeDOS-based scsitool bootdisk.

The SCSI controller I used was PCI AHA-2940S76, and the harddisks were
two HP C2490A-001.  The problem disappeared after changing the
controller to AHA-2940U.

I hope that misc_(_at_)_openbsd_(_dot_)_org is good place to send this bug report.  
If not, I would appreciate to be redirected to the proper forum.

Regards,
  peter
