Have you been able to run Linux on this system before? The system works with Win95, Win2k, and DOS 6.3. Linux install works when 2940U2W is swapped for 2940UW. The install seems to fail when trying to reset the SCSI bus. The SCSI activity LED blinks once, the CD-RW drive then blinks, then is hangs for a bit, then the SCSI LED lights up again, then it hangs, lights up.....(repeat forever). The CD-RW drive only blinks the one time, and none of the other drives seem to show activity. Seems to be a SCSI driver issue in the kernel. Doug, do you know anything about this? Most likely there is a an infinite retry for negotiation with the U2W drive. The best recommedation would be to try the new Adaptec sponsored aic7xxx driver. There is a driver disk for Red Hat 7 that provides this new driver on Justin Gibbs web site at http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux I'm closing this bug out and marking the resolution as won't fix. It's not that the bug won't get fixed, because I think it already is. It's that we won't be the ones to fix it, Adaptec will be now. Additional comments about Adaptec's new driver can also be directed at the aic7xxx mailing list at aic7xxx |
