Hello,
I'm having problems trying to boot a 2.2 kernel with my scanner on.
The SCSI card is ACARD and the kernel does recognize the SCSI device on
boot. If I boot with the scanner powered off, no problem, the kernel
recognizes the device and continues on, but if the scanner is on
at boot time, I get this error message (copied by hand) and the kernel
does not end booting.

I have left the computer 30 minutes in this state but nothing else
happened.
I have asked in the scsi newsgroups some time ago, and I got this response:

Your situation is different than mine, however,
the errors are the same. This being said I'll tell
you what I did and let you figure out if its of
help.
I'm running Redhat 6.0 using an adaptec 2940UW
SCSI host adaptor. I've been trying to get a old
SCSI hard drive to work but I was getting the same
messages as you during boot up.
I thought all my problems dealt with SCSI
termination. I was wrong.
I ended up going into the SCSI BIOS by pressing
ctrl-A at the boot up prompt.
After hours of troubleshooting I began resorted to
going into the BIOS scsi configuration and
changing individual flag settings and then
rebooting. It it didn't work I set the flag back
and changed another one. Scientific, I know.
I went into SCSI configuration and set the "Wide
negotiation" flag for the scsi ID corresponding to
my hard drive from "yes" to "no". This turned out
to be the only setting I needed to get my drive to
work.

Well, this card does not have bios support. ACARD told me the only way to
modify parameters was through the windows driver. I have tried what dan told
me, as well as other combinations, but it didn't work, so I'm clueless now.
Does anyone have experience with this card or problem?
Thank you in advance,
Jordi
