--------------C8ABA27EC997195F4173EEA0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well Folks, This one is a real mystery..... I cannot believe that my setup is unique, but hey... stranger things can happen I suppose. I have an Adaptec AHA-2940U2W with several devices ( see 2.0.38 dmesg out below), and an IDE primary drive where my boot record lives with a (bootable) DOS partition as well as some other Linux partitions: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 > hda: WDC AC26400B, 6149MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=784/255/63 My main (mother) board is an FIC PA-2013 with a 350MHz AMD K6-2 CPU, Millenium G200 video adapter, 128MB (PC100) SDRAM, sound card and modem reside in the 2 ISA slots and a 3COM 3c905B Cyclone ethernet card in one of the PCI slots. (aka very typical setup??) When booting any Linux 2.2.X kernel with this IDE drive present I get a timeout message (which I have posted before, but will include here for completeness): scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 60, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 0x28 00 00 70 c2 ce 00 00 02 00 The timeout can last anywhere from 25 to 40 seconds. Another symptom is LILO will hang (i.e. executing lilo) or take a very long time to execute. When I boot any of the 2.2.X kernels without this drive present the timeout disappears. In fact when I boot with this drive present in any of the newer 2.0.3X kernels which support this adapter there is NO timeout and lilo behaves normally! So why don't I just shutup and just use the 2.0.38 kernel? Well I do, but I would like to have some of the newer 2.2.X kernel features not present in the 2.0.3X kernels. If anyone has a similiar hardware setup (at the very least has the 2940U2W) that mixes both scsi and ide in the 2.2.X kernels and get no timeouts or lilo troubles, please let me know. I have discussed this at length with Doug Ledford and I am sure he would be interested in knowing also. It is possible that there is something in my BIOS (and/or BIOS settings) that the 2.0.3X kernels (as well as WINDOZE :) overlooks or doesn't care about.
