Hi all
Well things have slowed down just enought to put some attention on my scsi
problems. Over a month ago I built myself a system (see specs below) that
gave me no end of trouble trying to get Linux to install on it. After some
inital trouble NT installed and works fine. This is my first scsi system.
Well, Red Hat 6.0 installed and for the most part is working fine. I still
have a few problems that I hope will now be easier to solve with linux
already running on it. I just saw that a new aic7xxx driver is out so I
guess I need to upgrade to the 2.2.9 kernel and try it.
I'm incluned to believe these are just termination/cabling issues, but
have repeatedly gone over my configuration and can't find anything wrong.
I have included the output of /proc/scsi/*, the boot messages, and the
errors I get from xcdroast.
Here are the remaining problems:
1. on bootup it times out trying to detect devices on IDs that do not have
devices (almost all of the unused IDs). See the messages output below.
2. All devices appear on channel 0. I thought the drives which are on
the Ultra2 segment would appear on one channel, and the CDROMS on the
Ultra segment appear on another channel. There are four connectors on the
adapter. For the LVD Ultra2 segment, there are internal and external 68 pin
connectors.
For the SE Ultra segment, there is an internal 68 pin wide connector and
an internal 50 pin connector. If I plug the drive cable onto the Ultra
segment, they show up at 40.0 Mbyte/sec not 80.0 Mbyte/sec as they do on
the Ultra2 segment. The adaptec bios just lists settings for 16 IDs, but
does not differentiate between the segments.
3. I can read from both CDROMs fine, but have not been able to burn a CD.
This may be unrelated to my other problems. This is the error I get,
/usr/X11R6/lib/xcdroast-0.96e/bin/cdrecord-1.6.1: Cannot allocate memory.
Cannot send SCSI cmd via ioctl
but please see the full log output below
Any and all advise is appreciated.
System specs:
OS: Redhat Linux 6.0 stock 2.2.5-15 kernel
OS: NT Server 4.0 - all works fine
MB/CPU: Epox MVP3G (award bios) / AMD K6 2 450
Adapter: 2940U2W bios v2.01.0
Drives: 2 x ibm ultrastar 9ES DDRS 39130 (9gb LVD/ultra 2 wide)
CDROM: toshiba XM6401
CDRW: yamaha4416S
SCSI driver: 5.1.15/3.2.4
This is what the card/cable setup looks like. Again I'm still confused
that all devices show up on channel 0.
