Apologies in advance if this topic has been beaten to death, but a
quick scan of the archives for everything with 2930u2 in the subject
didn't yield an answer.

My 2930u2 has a single peripheral attached to it: a WDE 18300 LVD
hard disk.  The Adaptec SCSI-Select utility can see the drive, format
it, and verify it without any problems.  Unfortunately, the aic7xxx
driver goes into an infinite reset loop during initialization.  Here's
some typical output...


Jul 16 15:28:45 gherkin kernel: scsi1 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.2.1/5.2.0
Jul 16 15:28:45 gherkin kernel:        <Adaptec AHA-293X Ultra2 SCSI host adapter>
Jul 16 15:28:45 gherkin kernel: scsi : 2 hosts.
Jul 16 15:28:51 gherkin kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Inquiry 00 00 00 ff 00
Jul 16 15:28:52 gherkin kernel: SCSI host 1 abort (pid 0) timed out - resetting
Jul 16 15:28:52 gherkin kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0.
Jul 16 15:28:53 gherkin kernel: SCSI host 1 channel 0 reset (pid 0) timed out - trying harder

Jul 16 15:29:09 gherkin kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0.
Jul 16 15:29:10 gherkin kernel: SCSI host 1 channel 0 reset (pid 0) timed out - trying harder
Jul 16 15:29:10 gherkin kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0.
(etc.)

Driver compiled-in or modularized, the result is the same, which I think
is a good thing as far as consistency of behavior :-).

Anyone have any suggestions as far as things to check/try?  The
2930u2 adapter settings have their default values, except that the
BIOS is disabled since this isn't my primary SCSI controller (yet).
As far as aic7xxx driver parameters, I'm not currently passing any.
The TCQ compile-time option is set to disabled because of an explicit
mention of problems with TCQ and WDE drives.  Linux kernel version is
2.4.0-test[3,4].
