Subject: scsi abort,timeout at boot problems
Hi, I'm hoping someone that's dealt with this problem might have some new ideas
for me.
I have a linux box with a Quantum Atlas SCSI LVD, Adaptec 19160 LVD, SuperP6DBE
mb, running Redhat 6.2 (2.2.16-3). The whole system is less than 2 months old.
When it's up and running, it seems to go on flawlessly. But if I need to reboot
it, or cold boot it, during the boot sequence it will fail to hook up with the
Quantum and return errors like:
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: (scsi0:0:0:0) Synchronous at 80.0 Mbyte/sec,
offset 31.
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0,
scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 0) timed out - resetting
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 0) timed out -

Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: (scsi0:0:0:0) Synchronous at 80.0 Mbyte/sec,
offset 31.
Which normally keep repeating until I'm forced to hit reset or turn it off to
reset. This is the only time I get these errors, they don't show up while the
system runs at all. In fact, this is the first time I've had logs of them, since
this one recent time it actually did find the HD and get started after a few
minutes. Usually it either does or doesn't. It does this most of the time after
a power off sequence. I found that running the Quantum diagnostics (which show
the drive to be ok) and then rebooting usually cause the drive to be found
again, and avoid any abort or bus reset messages.
I've checked all the connections, reseated the host adapter, have almost the
latest linux driver for this host adapter (aic7xxxx 5.1.30), disabled my IDE
controller since I'm not using it, and generally been searching high and low for
an answer to this.
I don't have another host adapter or LVD cable to try, though I do have a
replacement HD that I haven't opened yet. The errors just don't seem to point to
the HD, but rather to the adapter or the driver, but I've never heard of any
other problems like this with even a similar config. If it's possible that it's
the HD then I will replace it, but I wanted that to be a last resort, since
that's the most time-consuming option.
I've included a larger sample of my logs below. Please email me as well as post
if you've got an idea for me, and thanks a lot!

Subject: ABIT BP6/HPT366 ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 16:12:56 -0700
What's the latest on DMA hangs requiring a 5 second press of power off to
clear? I'm running 2 Abit BP6 systems with the latest HPT366 1.26 BIOS &
kernel 2.4.0-test1 on one and test9 on the other. I'm seeing
'ide_dma_timeout func only: 14' on both systems, usually copying large files
around. I've messed with hdparm for 2 weeks trying for stability, the only
thing that works is disabling DMA, not a good option for performance. I've
also spent around $50 on cables in vain. Not that this is your problem
The only drive on the HPT366 channel is used for Oracle backup/restore
operations,
I have 3 recent UDMA33 hd's and a CD on hda thru hdd on both systems,
Maxtor/WD/Quantum.
Visually, the drive light on the desitination disk goes off for about 5
seconds before the error message appears. The drive light on the source
drive stays lit.
Thanks,
Mick McCormac

Subject: I'm throwing away my Diamond FireGL1 Card...
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 17:29:15 -0500
What a piece of junik!
I got the supposed driver to work with XFree86-4.01, but it still screws
up royally. On top of that, If I run any kernel over linux-2.2.16 (I
usually run linux-2.2.17 or linux-2.4.0-test9) then I'm out of luck
since they don't have a library that can be linked with a module to
create a driver.
I've had enough of this BS. I'm throwing away this FireGL1 crap and
getting an ATI Card where I know I can get full Linux support, with a
Driver incorporated correctly into the Xfree system (None of this
proprietary config utilities and install crap)!
I will never buy another Diamond Multimedia product again! They've
pissed me off so much that even if they were to straighten out later,
I'd still wouldn't touch their product with a 10 ft. pole. In fact,
this !@#$ Firegl1 Video Card goes straight into the trash compactor....I
wouldn't dream of passing off this piece of junk to anybody.
