Hi all - I've been using the aic7xxx driver for many years with the same hardware and absolutely no problems. I recently had the need to create a mini-linux system on a usb flash drive. Inside the kernel, I of course added the aic7xxx driver. When I boot from the drive as the SCSI probing happens, I get the following output: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message CDB: 0x12 0x0 0x0 0x0 0xff 0x0 scsi0:0:0:0: Command already completed aic7xxx_abort returns 0x2002 scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message CDB: 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 scsi0:0:0:0: Command already completed aic7xxx_abort returns 0x2002 scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue a TARGET RESET message CDB: 0x12 0x0 0x0 0x0 0xff 0x0 scsi0:0:0:0: Is not an active device This happens for all scsi channels (15 or so) in sequence. Needless to say, it does not find my internal scsi drive. I rebuilt the kernel leaving the aic7xxx driver as a module and disabled auto-loading, but got the same result. Here are my system specs: Athlon XP 3000+ 1 GB RAM MSI-6570E Mobo (K7N2 Delta2) Adaptec 29160 SCSI Host Adapter (IDE) IBM DDYS-T36950N 36GB SCSI Internal Drive I have read that Justin had diagnosed a similar problem as IRQ-related, but unfortunately if the problem was resolved, it was not posted in the thread. I noticed on boot up that my scsi controller was sharing irq 11 with my uhci controller. There isn't much I can do to change that in BIOS or in the boot-time setup menu for the scsi card. The only option I saw allowed me to reserve irq 11 in BIOS, but that just put the scsi card on irq 9 with the ehci controller and gave the same output when booted from the flash drive. For the record, the driver still works perfectly in the internal scsi drive boot up. I deal with too many scsi-dependent systems to omit scsi support from the kernel. Here's hoping this is fixable on my system. Thanks in advance to everyone :) Ian Walker walker_643@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
