Subject: 2.4.8 aic7xxx  -- continuous bus resets
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 16:04:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B7A9D88.23945.BFC66BE@localhost> (raw)


I thought I'd look at the 2.4.8 kernel while I figure out what's 
wrong with my 2.2.18 installation. The kernel loading gets stuck with 
errors from the aic7xxx driver, which keeps timeing out querying the 
bus looking for non-existant drives, and when it finaly tries to 
query a drive that exists it claims to see bus errors. End result is 
that Linux 2.4.8 never mounts any drives or finishes loading.

The system is an IBM 704 with a built in adaptec aic-7880U 
controller, with two drives on first scsi buss. 

2.2.18 has no problems with the adaptec controllers, but has other 
issues, which seem to be timer related.
