Hi, Can anyone help me with the following problem. I have a Dell PII 350 PC with a Adaptec 2940 UW card and an external Yamaha CDRW 6416 Drive. The problem is when LINUX loads the Adaptec driver (AIC7xxx.o) and scans the SCSI bus for devices and it reaches the Yamaha drive, It resets the drive and causes the Yamaha drive to hang. It then causes the LINUX driver (AIC7xxx) to hang on that device and reports a device timeout. All the other devices on the external SCSI bus works great. I have RedHat 6.0 installed. I have tried this on two different PC hardware with different 2940 cards. The result is the same. The driver is sending something that the Yamaha drive does not like and then hangs the drive. It is worth mentioning that the drive under Windows 95 works great with the same 2940 and PC hardware. Although the Windows drive does not do the same reset on the device at boot time as does the LINUX drive. I know that this Yamaha drive is new and there maybe some compatibility issues. But it would be nice to have it work under LINUX. Any help would be appreciated.
