Greetings, I'm also a new and rather disappointed owner of an on-board SCSI bus. We have an AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI on-bard. We have a UMAX SCSI Scanner attached to it. It detects it fine: mandragona kernel: (scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 6/0 mandragona kernel: (scsi0) Wide Channel, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs mandragona kernel: (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 407 instructions downloaded mandragona kernel: scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.4/3.2.4 mandragona kernel: <Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> mandragona kernel: scsi1 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices mandragona kernel: scsi : 2 hosts. mandragona kernel: Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 1200S Rev: V2.9 But when you try to scan, it starts, stops abruptly, waits about 10 minutes and then resumes, finally finishing the job. In the /var/log/messages we find: Dec 9 17:58:05 mandragona kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 90, scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0 0x00 00 00 00 00 00 each and every time we try to scan. It doesn't matter how big the scan is (i.e., resolution) or what position we start scanning at. Sometimes, if we try two right in a row, the second will get through right away. Wierd. We're using kernel 2.1.131, with SCSI support and AIC7xxx support compiled in. We also tried setting the CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY to 20, in case it was a timeout issue, but to no avail. We also have SCSI emulation support to spoof our HP CD-writer into looking like a scsi device, which works fine. Needless to say, we've tinkered with almost every SCSI bios setting we could find, but with no luck. Just for completeness, the scanner IS working under Windoze. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Chris -- Chris Burns | Invisible to telescopic Eye University of Toronto | Infinity, the star that would not die.
