Hello all,
I have an Alpha Multia that's been giving me some intermittant and
debilitating problems. The onboard controller is an NCR 810. I've been
trying many different drivers (ncr53c7xx, ncr53c7,8xx, and ncr53c8xx)
from kernels 2.2.12, 2.2.14, and now 2.3.99-pre6.3 - and all have the
same problem where the machine enters an error loop from which it never
escapes.
Here are two of the errors I've seen with 2.3.99-pre6.3 and the ncr8xx.c
driver:
[not necessarily scsi related:]
LCA machine check: vector 0x660 pc=0xfffffc00003103e0 code=0x204
Reason: SIO_SERR occured on PCI bus (long frame)
reason: 0x0 exc_addr: 0xfffffc00003103e0 dc_stat: 0x7
car: 0x61281141
[scsi messages, some bits lost in transcription:]
scsi: aborting due to timeout: pid 0, scsi 0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,
Write(1) 00 00 05 0c e2 00 02 00
ncr53c8xx_abort: pid 0 serial_number=37856 erial_number_at_timeout=37856
[??}
ncr53x810-0: abort ccb=fffffc00007f4800 (cancel)
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 0) timed out - resetting
[??]
ncr53c8xx-reset: pid 0 reset flags=2
The first line of the SCSI error message appears in scsi_obsolete.c,
which concerns me that I'm using the wrong driver. I've been fighting
this for a while, and have no idea what's going on. Any insight would
be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Christopher
