[parisc-linux] SCSI problems on 73[05]

[Dave Gilbert]

Hi,
  As I mentioned in a previous mail, my first machine successfully is now
net booting Linux/HP-PA.

  I am however having some problems with SCSI on it; I'm trying to do

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda

to clear the discs but am getting:

scsi0: Unable to abort command for target 5
scsi0: Unable to send Bus Device Reset for target 5
scsi0: Unable to do SCSI bus reset
scsi0: >>>>>>>>>>>> Host reset <<<<<<<<<<<<
scsi0: istat = 0c, sstat0 = 00, sstat1 = 00, dstat = 00
scsi0: dsp = 00075038 (script[0x140e]), dsps = 00075cde, target = 0
scsi0: Failing command for ID5
SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 5 lun 0 return code = 2
 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 128
 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 130

Here is the dmesg from boot; I guess the warnings about IRQ probes are
probably a bit dodgy!
(Oh, there is a 10/100 ether card in the EISA slot - how do I figure out
what it is?)

Please can you try booting with

	sim700=nodisc:0xff

added to the PALO command line, and let me know if it helps.

Oh, and how often/quickly does it fail?

Are you confident that scsi disks, cable and terminators are ok?
Do you get the problems with both disks?

Thanks,
  Richard

Yes, it works a treat. (I edited into the header of the LIF image I
downloaded using vi.....)

> Oh, and how often/quickly does it fail?

Every time; it runs for perhaps 10 seconds (well I don't know if its
running or about to timeout) and then gives the errors I posted.  Same
errors every time.

With your command line option I've just zero'd both discs with no errors
at all.

> Are you confident that scsi disks, cable and terminators are ok?

No. I've just been given the machine and don't know what its previous
state was (other than it was working fine a few months ago).  Its a 735
with the two discs internal in the mounting to the right of the box
(behind the LED bit I guess) with one of the little tiny HP SCSI-SCSI link
leads to the fast-narrow connector on the back of the machine.  This is
going off to another box (not switched on) which has a terminator on the
back and some other discs in.  That box is a known good one (as is the
cable to it).

 > Do you get the problems with both disks?

Yes.

Oh, also HP-UX booted off it OK - well it did until I just cleaned it
down.....

Dave
