Firstly, My Machine Specification: P5-166 IDE HD/CDROM ADAPTEC AVA-2904 Ricoh MP6200S SCSI CD-RW Drive Minolta Scan Dual SCSI Film Scanner AverMedia TVCapture Card Corel Linux 1.0 with 2.2.12 Kernel. When loading the aic7xxx driver with my scanner turned on and the driver seems to timeout and then reset the SCSI bus. I have tried numerous versions of the driver from 5.1.10 to 5.1.21, from Doug Ledford's pages, and the same problem seems to occcur scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 144, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 SCSI host 0 abort (pid 144) timed out - resetting SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0. After a discussion with a scanner expert, he suggested that the linux driver may not be recognizing the termination provided by the scanner and I can't set any termination settings in BIOS, because the AVA-2904 does not have any BIOS chip. I spent hours, I was up to 3 in the morning, playing with parameters to aic7xxx drivers with no sucess. I posted a stack of information and seem to recieve no reply, so I hoping that by trying again I would at least get a pointer to the problem. If you me to repost, just let me know and I will do so. Thank In Advance Richard Mottershead P.S. I am one of the million non-programmers in this world that will be ever indebted to the people who help me free myself from the clutches of big Bill (even know I use hotmail). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
