Hello, Reiner Suikat wrote: > I'm wondering if anyone on this list might be able to help me. I'm trying to > get an Adaptec 2940 UW Pro, Bios V2.11, to run on a RedHat 6.1 Linux system. Yesterday, I did some further tests with aic7xxx-5.1.21, linux-2.2.14 an with 5.1.22 (Doug Ledfordīs latest patch applied to linux-2.2.14). After starting the Adaptec-SCSISelecet utility, I configured the termination of "Narrow Connector" as "enabled" (which is set up as "auto" per default). After then my Adaptec 2940UW Pro is working fine, even with "aic7xxx-5.1.20" (linux-2.2.13), "aic7xxx-5.1.21" (linux-2.2.14) and "aic7xxx-5.1.22" (linux-2.2.14 + the latest patch)! So I think it is quite easy to solve the problem: You only should set your "Narrow Connector" termination as "enabled" if there arenīt not any external SCSI devices connected. The setting "Auto" seems to be problematic when using a driver that is newer than "aic7xxx-5.1.19". The termination of "wide connector" is still configured as "auto" without causing any problems. > Linux identifies the adapter as an 2944 Ultra (it DEFINITELY is an 2940 UW > Pro) Yes, this behaviour is still present - but I think it is rather harmless...
