I just installed a new 2.2.12 on my computer, at the same time
that I plugged a aha1542 in it with a sony SDT 5200 DAT (4gig).
Bios detection of the card and tape are OK (bios installed, terminators OK,
ID adapter=0, ID tape=2, IO adapter=0x334, IRQ 10, DMA 7, all of which are
free on my system.
SCSI core, HD, TAPE, CDROM, Verbose and AHA1542 were compiled in the kernel.
At boot time, it found the aha1542 adapter with IRQ, DMA, ID and IO OK, but
then
it stayed very long on each nr. from 1 to 7 probing it and saying:
Unable to abort command for target 1 ...
Resetting scsi host0
Unable to abort command for target 1 ...
And then it somehow said it had found the sony tape.
(This lasted at least 3 minutes)
(i) You write
> ID adapter=0
but that is rather unusual, the default is 7 so that the adapter
has highest priority. Does it make any difference if you change the ID?
(ii) About a year ago a friend had aha1542 problems and I fixed
the driver enough to solve these problems. (I am still unhappy
with the driver though - never submitted it for inclusion in the
default kernel. You can find it places like ftp.XX.kernel.org
under linux/kernel/people/aeb or so.)
Does this aha1542.c behave any better?
