I can think of two causes for this. Firstly the abort could be because of a genuine problem - a drive aborting a command for example, secondly it might be a really weird interaction with bios power management. The bios not finding the disk sounds like the disk firmware crashed. First thing to try would be disabling any power management in the bios and then booting with apm=off as a boot option. I'm not sure it will change anything but it eliminates one suspicion I had to get a quick resolution for this so I slapped in a HP NetRaid controller, disabled the on-board SCSI and rebuilt the system. No more SCSI time-outs. I'm unlikely to return the system to it's faulty state but I really appreciated the comments. The bios power management sounds a good contender if somewhat troubling (it really shouldn't do that!). If I do get my hands on a couple of extra disks I'll re-enable the on-board controller - slap them in and let you know what happens. Cheers :n) |
