Hi, i attached a SCSI RAID system to my debian box. The HBA is a Adaptec 29160.
dmesg shows that the RAID is attached with asynchronous negotiation: -- snip -- scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0 <Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs Vendor: SB-2800T Model: Rev: 0001 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 scsi0:A:0:0: Tagged Queuing enabled. Depth 8 target0:0:0: Beginning Domain Validation target0:0:0: wide asynchronous target0:0:0: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns, offset 31) target0:0:0: Domain Validation skipping write tests target0:0:0: Ending Domain Validation -- snap-- The RAID should support synchronous negotiation. Cables and termination are set up correctly. The "synchronous negotiation" option in Adaptec BIOS is enabled, too. The aic7xxx driver just seems to ignore the settings from BIOS. Is there a way to force the HBA to use synchronous neg.? Any help would be much appreciated! Till P.S. The RAID sits on the SCSI-Id 0 - could this be a problem? Maybe there#s a special meaning of ID=0? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
