thanks for your quick reply. the answers, as far as i can give them, are as follows: ad 1) the controller can handle up to U160. the drive attached on the first channel (the buggy one) is actually U320 ( fujitsu MAP3367NC). it is attached to the scsi controller via a super-micro backplane (sca742) which should (i.e. claims to) automatically take care of termination etc. i tried to change the jumper settings on the mainboard, but to no effect. ad 2) jumpers are all i can set, and i tried all combinations. the scsi disc itself is in a drive carrier, i was told not to fiddle around with that (the backplane's job to terminate in this setup, not the drive's). ad 3) yes. ad 4) unfortunately i can't do that, because the cabling is very tight and i'd have to near completely disassemble the whole server to get at the cable leaving the backplane. my other device is an external raid array. that works fine (on channel 2). ad 5) i put that as global_tag_depth option. it wouldn't find root filesystem otherwise. another bit of information i gathered: in scsi bios, the harddisc gets read as ASYNC, whereas the raid gets 160 as transferrate. not sure if this is important. thank you, pma On Fri, 25 Jun 2004, Todd Denniston wrote: > Patrick Mcallister wrote: > > > <SNIP> > > > > -) debian testing/unstable > > -) kernel 2.4.26 with aic7xxx compiled in > > > > some helpful output: > > > > Sorry I only really have more questions for you, as I don't think you > mentioned the answers to them in your first email: > 1) Both devices are showing ANSI SCSI revision: 03, are they both supposed to > be U160 devices? > a U160 dropping back to 3MB/s seems like there is a really big problem on > that bus. > 2) do you have a physical terminator on the end of the first scsi bus, or have > told the last device (only device in your case) on that bus to do internal > termination? > 3) do you have the correct scsi cable, that is, the cable connecting the > devices has the correct ends for both devices (no gender benders, or > extenders) and is rated for U160. > 4) have you physically swapped the devices from bus to bus?
