I have three servers with 3940's, each with one drive connected to each SCSI controller. One machine is running kernel 2.2.7, no problems so far. One machine is running kernel 2.2.10, no problem upgrading to it. The third machine, upon upgrading to 2.2.10 (in fact, the same exact kernel image), goes into one of those infinite SCSI reset loops on boot (though it eventually hangs with some sort of kernel fault). It's identical hardware to the machine that I upgraded with no problems. I checked the BIOS and Adaptec BIOS settings, they're identical as well. Fscking *weird*. Specifically, does anyone know what information from the infinite reset loops should be provided to help troubleshoot these sorts of problems? > Here I have now > reverted to a 2940 with no problems, the 3940 hangs the system as soon > as a second drive > becomes active even when only using a single channel. > > > This is since upgrading to SuSE 6.0 kernel 2.0.36, aic 5.1.5 and seems > to happen on all > subsequent versions that I downloaded. > > > Is anyone having the same problem?? > > > Nick > > -- > > Nick Taylor mailto://nt@dataskill.co.uk Dataskill, London, England > > mailto://webmaster@reflexology.org > > HOME OF REFLEXOLOGY http://www.reflexology.org > -- Ivan Kohler <ivan@iqualify.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
