[parisc-linux] 9000/730 booting but SCSI Problems (mke2fs)

[parisc-linux] 9000/730 booting but SCSI Problems (mke2fs)

[Jeff Arthur]

After help form Christoph Plattner I resolved my init 
problems, and got a prompt!! 

(Thanks Christoph, I had the problem you 
described a couple of builds earlier so 
recreated the problem, applied your fix and it 
worked a treat)

however I now have a problem with SCSI, all 
devices are seen ok, have removed cdrom as I 
noted in some earlier posts that this could 
cause problems, but when creating filesystems 
the SCSI dies.

I have tried a couple of drives, boot log looks 
fine.  Any Suggestions or is this just down to 
lack of docs in this area, as I noted from posts 
back in Feb?

Hi Jeff,
  Looks like your scsi sub-system basically works, as you have presumably
managed to partition your disk with fdisk, and you say the disks are
detected ok on boot.  So, this doesn't look like the problem we have
with older machines and lack of documentation.  On those older machines
we don't even detect the disks.

First, can you send your boot messages so I can see what sort of machine
you have and want is on the scsi bus.

Then you should check scsi bus termination and maybe try a different
cable (unless you know the h/w works with some other OS).

You could try booting with "sim700=nodisc:0xff" on the command line to
prevent scsi disconnect/reselect cycles.

You could try some small scsi data transfers with 'dd' to see if it works
for simple things.

Richard

Re: [parisc-linux] 9000/730 booting but SCSI Problems (mke2fs)

[Jeff Arthur]

Thanks Richard, the commnad line change you described seems 
to have worked a treat.

My problem has now moved on, have got all things up and running 
of the hard disk now, but a few key exes are hanging, rpc.lockd, 
nscd, tar etc.

The ones in the init i have got around by removing the entries from 
rcx.d etc, but not being able to use tar is a pain.

Yes, this problem is now fixed.  http://bugs.parisc-linux.org/db/76/76.html

Hmm, so it seems the sim700 driver has problems with disconnect/reselect
enabled, on your system at least.  I'll do some testing here.

As Matthew said, that is fixed.  You might try a new base tarball from
<ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/debian/basetars/>.

the same problem occurs on my HP9000/730 ...

the machine works normal (expect the rpc.xxx problem),
unless you use your scsi devices extensively (well, not really
extensively, just a "find", "mke2fs" or "ls -lR" or something like that).
