At least that would confirm for me that the problem is termination > related. My Dell 410 consistently gets complaints from pre10 and all the others too about auto-termination being on (and it doesn't mention ANY cables when it lists the connectors) on IIRC both the 7880 and 7890. When I eventually checked in the SCSI BIOS (it was working so this took me some time!) auto-termination wasn't even an option never mind enabled. Termination was correctly and manually turned on for both adaptors. Is this some sort of Dell Adaptec BIOS quirk or is something wrong in the aic7xxx driver ?
