Hi there I hope someone can help me, i'm having trouble with aic7xxx connected to a Promise UltraTrak RM4000 external RAID 5 array on my redhat 9 box. I have tried both the stock redhat9.0 drivers as well as the 6.3.3 drivers found at http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/RPM/. In both cases the module is loaded fine during boot up (i can see the module in lsmod, i can access the scsi disk using 'fdisk /dev/sda') I then use fdisk to create a partition on /dev/sda - this is fine too. When i try to format the partition (mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1), the machine hangs on 'Writing inodes'. After a while i get a whole bunch of SCSI errors. They are like: <<<<<<<<<<<Dump Card State Ends >>>>>>>>> (scsi0:A:0:0): SCB 0xf - timed out sg[0] - Addr 0x57ea000 : Length 4096 Recovery SCB completes scsi0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset. 32 SCBs aborted -- SEE BELOW FOR BETTER PRINTOUT Things i have tried: 1. RedHat 9 default aic7xxx drivers and 6.3.3 drivers (installed from RPM) 2. Updating FirmWare on Promise UltraTrak RM4000 3. Fedora (the 6.3.3 RPMs did not work) 4. Resetting the Adaptec to defaults (going thru the bios 'ctrl-a') 5. Resetting the machines bios defaults 6. 2 or 3 different SCSI cables 7. 2 or 3 different SCSI terminators I would be most most grateful if anyone could shed some light on this situation.I have been at this for a couple of days now and its really starting to hurt! :) Kind Regards Jon OUTPUT OF DMESG: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 05:09.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:1f.1 scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.3.3 <Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs BELOW IS WHAT COMES UP ON THE SCREEN ONCE I'VE STARTED mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 and it has paused during 'Writing inodes' (i've shorted some of it where the same message was being printed out): Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: scsi0: Recovery Initiated Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dump Card State Begins <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: scsi0: Dumping Card State while idle, at SEQADDR 0x9 Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: Card was paused Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: ACCUM = 0x4, SINDEX = 0x64, DINDEX = 0x65, ARG_2 = 0x4 Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: HCNT = 0x0 SCBPTR = 0x19 Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: SCSIPHASE[0x0] SCSISIGI[0x0] ERROR[0x0] SCSIBUSL[0x0] Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: LASTPHASE[0x1]:(P_BUSFREE) SCSISEQ[0x12]:(ENAUTOATNP|ENRSELI) Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: SBLKCTL[0x6]:(SELWIDE|ENAB20) SCSIRATE[0x0] SEQCTL[0x10]:(FASTMODE) Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: SEQ_FLAGS[0xc0]:(NO_CDB_SENT|NOT_IDENTIFIED) SSTAT0[0x0] Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: SSTAT1[0x8]:(BUSFREE) SSTAT2[0x0] SSTAT3[0x0] SIMODE0[0x8]:(ENSWRAP) Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: SIMODE1[0xa4]:(ENSCSIPERR|ENSCSIRST|ENSELTIMO) SXFRCTL0[0x80]:(DFON) Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: DFCNTRL[0x0] DFSTATUS[0x89]:(FIFOEMP|HDONE|PRELOAD_AVAIL) Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: STACK: 0x0 0x164 0x179 0x3 Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: SCB count = 35 Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: Kernel NEXTQSCB = 16 Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: Card NEXTQSCB = 16 Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: QINFIFO entries: Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: Waiting Queue entries: Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: Disconnected Queue entries: 25:17 24:18 23:19 22:10 21:11 20:12 19:13 18:14 17:5 16:6 15:7 14:8 13:9 12:0 11:4 9:2 10:1 8:3 7:32 6:33 5:34 4:25 3:26 1:27 2:28 0:29 31:20 30:21 29:22 28:23 27:24 26:15 Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: QOUTFIFO entries: Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: Sequencer Free SCB List: Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: Sequencer SCB Info: Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: 0 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x7] Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x1d] Dec 10 17:48:58 ablettjnr kernel: 15 SCB_CONTROL[0x60]:(TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x7] SCB_LUN[0x0] **********NOTE:: the above lines repeated 100's times...
