Hi, today I tried 5.1.4 on my linux box with two A2940UW on Asus P/I-P65UP5 baseboard with C-P6ND cpu-card (chipset 440FX) +2 PentiumPRO-200. The driver just didn't find any drive (and so messages are not logged ;-) but it was something like "detection time out for host 0 channel 0 resetting" and then "trying harder", looping ever and ever. I stopped it after ~20 iterations and booted back with a 2.0.33 linux kernel (Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 4.1.1/3.2.1)) That is the last known working driver on my box, with just a few errors sometimes... e.g: Oct 2 16:36:45 zeus-rcg kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 61985, scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 Write (6) 1e 80 67 02 00 Oct 2 16:36:47 zeus-rcg kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 61934) timed out - resetting Oct 2 16:36:47 zeus-rcg kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0. Oct 2 16:36:47 zeus-rcg kernel: (scsi0:0:8:0) Sending reply SDTR. Oct 2 16:36:47 zeus-rcg kernel: (scsi0:0:4:0) Sending reply SDTR. Oct 2 16:36:49 zeus-rcg kernel: (scsi0:0:2:0) Sending reply SDTR. this just hangs the machine for a few seconds but does seldom crash it (only when the watchog card timeout is reached). Is there any hope for my cards or should I change them for another brand ? (I have tried all aic7xxx drivers since kernel 2.0.33 and I still need a stable one because this machine is my main nfs/appletalk/samba server). Best regards, Nicolas. -- _____________________________________________________________________ http://www-recomgen.univ-rennes1.fr/Dico Slackware is Linux on a motorcycle, all wheels and attitude!
