F.0 (ID=45) SCSI Host Adapter, SCSI ID 7, 16 CCBs but when it does, I get all of these errors Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle down (approximately 30-45 seconds later) (Probe0:aha0:0:0:0) CCB 0xc782c508 (Probe0:aha0:0:0:0) CCB 0xc782c508 aha0: aha_cmd: Timeout waiting for adapter idle ahainitmboxes: Initialization command failed aha0 no longer in timeout (Probe6:aha0:0:6:0) CCB 0xc782c508 (Probe6:aha0:0:6:0) CCB 0xc782c508 aha0: aha_cmd: Timeout waiting for adapter idle ahainitmboxes: Initialization command failed aha0 no longer in timeout and after 30-45 minutes the system will finally get finished probing and give me a login prompt. So it's not an IRQ problem, in fact, the only way I can make the system boot-up quickly is to make it share an IRQ. On boot-up, it recognizes and lists the tape drive, but when it comes to probing, it's no joy. Any ideas/suggestions/hints? |
