Slackware 3.5???? What device(s) do you have hung from your card? did you diable the Wide negotiation? That is what I had to do with the orignial driver (not written by doug) and haven't changed it (yes, I'm a coward). You might want to try doing that. I used to get that message when I used an inexpensive 58pin ribbon cable for my wide HDs. Could be a bad cable??? wuff, andy On Wed, 9 Sep 1998, Anthony Spataro wrote: > I recently bought an Adaptec 2940 UltraWide adapter and I get the following > messages when I try to boot using a Slackware 3.5, Red Hat or Debian boot > disk (all using the 2.0.34 or 2.0.35 kernel): > > >scsi: 1 hosts > >(scsi 0:0:-1:-1) Scanning channel for devices > >SCSI: aborting command du to timeout: pid 1, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, > >lun0 Inquiry 00 00 00 ff 00 > >SCSI host 0 abort (pid 1) time out - trying harder > >SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0 > > This problem appears to be very similar or identical to the problem > reported by Ulrich Hansmair <ulrich@hansmair.m.uunet.de> in an earlier > message to the list, with the exception that earlier in the boot sequence, > I see output saying something along the lines of "Downloading sequencer > code...406 instructions downloaded" followed by "Failed initialization of > WD-7000 card!"
