In reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s message of Tue, 24 Sep 1996 I'll just repeat what others have already stated: it is very likely your cables and termination. I was having very similar problems which got worse with the newer kernels. I finally bought new high quality cables and active terminators (expansive), which improved the problems considerably, but did not cure them. More recently I upgraded to a new motherboard, so I bought a cheap 53c810 controller, which has now completely eliminated all problems and dramatically increased performance as well.
So if you have PCI slots on your board, then you should upgrade to a $60 PCI 53c810 (or 53c815) card and sell your Adaptec card to some DOS user. Otherwise you will probably just have to check your termination and cables, but you may not be able to do much about it. On the other hand I just noticed your messages are also reporting unexpected interrupts. Have you checked to make sure that nothing else is using that interrupt? You probably should try removing all unnecessary card and see if the problem goes away. > Can anyone help me here? I've got an AHA1542 with a quantum XP32150W > as the only device on the chain.
