Firstly, My Machine Specification:
P5-166
IDE HD/CDROM
ADAPTEC AVA-2904
Ricoh MP6200S SCSI CD-RW Drive
Minolta Scan Dual SCSI Film Scanner
AverMedia TVCapture Card
Corel Linux 1.0 with 2.2.12 Kernel.
When loading the aic7xxx driver with my scanner turned on and the driver
seems to timeout and then reset the SCSI bus.
I have tried numerous versions of the driver from 5.1.10 to 5.1.21, from
Doug Ledford's pages, and the same problem seems to occcur
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 144, scsi0, channel 0, id 6,
lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 144) timed out - resetting
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
After a discussion with a scanner expert, he suggested that the linux driver
may not be recognizing the termination provided by the scanner and I can't
set any termination settings in BIOS, because the AVA-2904 does not have any
BIOS chip.
I spent hours, I was up to 3 in the morning, playing with parameters to
aic7xxx drivers with no sucess.
I posted a stack of information and seem to recieve no reply, so I hoping
that by trying again I would at least get a pointer to the problem.
If you me to repost, just let me know and I will do so.
Thank In Advance
Richard Mottershead
P.S. I am one of the million non-programmers in this world that will be ever
indebted to the people who help me free myself from the clutches of big Bill
(even know I use hotmail).
