I've attached a snippet from dmesg below. It's a diagnostic in the driver that says that a drive initiated sync negotiation and the driver replied to it. Most drives wait for the initiator (the adaptec card) to initiate wide/sync negotiation, but some drives will immediately attempt to negotiate sync after they receive a wide negotiation message. I'll remove the printf. The message only means that the driver is doing what it is supposed to. >Thanks, > >Bill >....................................................................... >Bill Grunfelder System Administrator >wjgrun@cyberwar.com Cyber Warrior, Inc. >http://www.cyberwar.com/~wjgrun/ (201) 703-1517 > >-The above does not necessarily coincide with the views of my employer- -- Justin T.
