cheap scsi card recomendation
I've about 20 of old netserver lpr machines that have the old megaraid raid card. The kernal has dropped support for these cards. I'm tired of dealing with it. Can someone recomend a card that will work well with a stock debian that I might find on ebay? The drives are ultra3 18g (only raid 1 needed, do NOT need raid 5) 10rpm hard drives -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by RCRnet, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

File corruption with 2940U2 SCSI card and aic7xxx driver.
I recently installed an Adaptec 2940U2 controller and two disks in myDebian Sarge system. Prior to this installation, the system had beena rock-solid IDE only system. The card and drives are correctlydetected and identified by the kernel at boot. Unfortunately, I am experiencing consistent corruption on large files written to the SCSIdrives. For example, if I copy a file from the old, stable IDE driveto one of the SCSI disks using dd:dd if=alphabet of=/dev/sda1 205200+0 records in205200+0 records out105062400 bytes transferred in 5.480344 seconds (19170767 bytes/sec)Then copy the file back:dd if=/dev/sda1 of=alphabet_ver2 count=205200205200+0 records in 205200+0 records out105062400 bytes transferred in 5.840856 seconds (17987500 bytes/sec)The md5sums are different:md5sum alphabet alphabet_ver25a96c70a890ff479568f75c54abb82a8 alphabet e507a5b662b5f528bb6aa3a489a0e04e alphabet_ver2The original file, alphabet, contains the lineabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz repeated many times; however the filewritten to the SCSI drive, alphabet_ver2, contains a number lines like abcdefghijklmnopqrstubcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz andabcdopqrstuvwxyz --- all the correct characters, just out of order. Curiously, all of the corruption appears to occur when writing the file to the disk, as reading the data from the disk a second timeyields the same, corrupt data:dd if=/dev/sda1 of=alphabet_ver3 count=205200205200+0 records in205200+0 records out105062400 bytes transferred in 5.840856 seconds (17987500 bytes/sec)md5sum alphabet alphabet_ver2 alphabet_ver35a96c70a890ff479568f75c54abb82a8 alphabete507a5b662b5f528bb6aa3a489a0e04e alphabet_ver2e507a5b662b5f528bb6aa3a489a0e04e alphabet_ver3 The corruption on write appears to be different each time:dd if=alphabet of=/dev/sda1;\dd if=/dev/sda1 of=alphabet_ver4 count=205200;md5sum alphabet*205200+0 records in205200+0 records out 105062400 bytes transferred in 5.488071 seconds (19143775 bytes/sec)205200+0 records in205200+0 records out105062400 bytes transferred in 5.776168 seconds (18188944 bytes/sec)5a96c70a890ff479568f75c54abb82a8 alphabet e507a5b662b5f528bb6aa3a489a0e04e alphabet_ver2e507a5b662b5f528bb6aa3a489a0e04e alphabet_ver340a369cb78d68f9b6d293dfd5012c87f alphabet_ver4You'll note that I've given up trying to create a filesystem on the SCSI disk since the filesystem was always corrupted quickly andfatally. I have exhausted my ideas for troubleshooting this problem. I would greatly appreciate any ideas for further troubleshooting. Here is a brief list of what I have tried: - Copying data to and from the other SCSI disk, sdb.- Changing PCI slots and SCSI cables.- The 2940 card does not share an interrupt with any other card.- Trying the aic7xxx_old driver.- Trying the new version of the aic7xxx driver with a 2.6.16 kernel.- Disabling write caching on the drives.- Enabling the debug information in the aic7xxx driver module (see below for transcript). There is no indication of problems from the debug output. In all cases, I get the same results.

Kernel modules for AIC79xx scsi card?
Hi, I'm planning on installing Debian on a Sun Fire V65x to see how I like Debian. I noticed that the default kernel for Debian stable doesn't include support for the ethernet card (e1000) or the SCSI card (aic79xx). This is understandable, given the age of the kernel (aic79xx wasn't in 2.4.18). I (luckily) found this page: http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/preload/ Which (supposedly) contains handy modules for installation, as mentioned here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200307/msg00413.html However, I can't access the above page at people.debian.org because I get a redirection loop in both Mozilla and w3m. I reported this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 3 Dec 2003, but have not received a response. I'm guessing people.debian.org is hosted on glucker (from the redirection page I saw), which was affected by the recent compromise --- is this why I'm seeing redirection loops? Is there a mirror of the modules page somewhere? Or will it be back online sometime this month? Or should I just go build my own modules? If I should build my own modules, where can I get the source for the Debian bf24 kernel on the stable media --- I'm on a gentoo box right now, so I don't have the debian tools but I can probably compile them if needed.

SCSI card DAT tape drive

On Potato it was seen immediately and I expected the same with Woody but it does not see it. All my work stuff is back-upped on the the DAT tape and I need to get it back on the hard drive as quickly as possible.

Have a look in /var/log/dmesg: (a) Does your SCSI adapter get detected ? - if not, you need to add support for your adapter to the kernel (b) Does the SCSI adapter recognise the tape drive ? - if not, this is likely to be a cabling or setup problem, which is unlikely if all that has happened is a software upgrade (c) Does the tape drive get recognised by the kernel ? (look for st0) - if not, you need to add SCSI tape support to the kernel HTH - Derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: scsi card compatibility under Debian
First of all, I am stunned to find a site like http://lhd.datapower.com; so, I thank you very much! :-) Now, I also have the /usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/scsi directory on my system, because I recently was diligently re-compiling my kernel for the first time (it worked! Hooray! :-) Anyway, there are a lot of cards that are compatible; and I was wondering, if anyone had some ideas on where to start: are Adaptec cards a good way to go? It is fairly easy to look up cards on eBay with the keywords scsi adaptec; this way, I am not overwhelmed with selections. I will do a lot of reading to find out which cards are better than others, etc.; but any ideas would be appreciated. I am looking for useful, and CHEAP--I am on a fixed income, and feeling very poor these days ;-) The Hewlett-Packard website claims that the scanner I have needs a $150 dollar card; in fact they generously point out the exact card they want me to buy...the card that came with the scanner, the Hewlett-Packard card, is useless, they admit, but they won't do anything about it. So basically it is a useless scanner, the way it is shipped. I think the card would work with Windows 3.1, but the scanner was purchased when I was using Windows 95 (and it was supposed to be compatible),but gave nothing but trouble. Now, I use Linux, but of course there's no way to support the stupid useless card (which was a triangular board with a small chip on it).

It is fairly easy to look up cards on eBay with the keywords scsi adaptec; this way, I am not overwhelmed with selections. I will do a lot of reading to find out which cards are better than others, etc.; but any ideas would be appreciated. The Adaptec 2940 is a mainstream SCSI card that you should be able to get for $20. It works with Linux since a long long time ago. I have several of these and their derivatives (2940UW, 2940U2W, 29160). They all work great. To minimize cost, you want to get a SCSI card with the same connector as your scanner. This is probably either DB25 -- looks like a parallel port -- or HD50. Assuming that your scanner came with a cable, you want to get a SCSI card with the appropriate connector, so you don't need to spend anything on cable adapters. For an HD50 connector get the 2940. For the DB25 connector, get a 2904. Most adaptec PCI cards use the aic7xxx driver. -jwb

How to set up ISA SCSI card.
Briefly, does anyone know how to set up a jumpered ISA SCSI card properly? I have the I/O and IRQ settings on the card, but don't know where to put the information. The card itself (Adaptec 1502) is listed in the Linux Hardware HOWTO as supported, but I don't know what modules to load, what arguments to give them, how to get them configured at install time, or where the documentation is. I posted before, but maybe at a bad time. Sorry for the repost, anyway. Thanks! -- Terry Hancock [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Terry Hancock [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Briefly, does anyone know how to set up a jumpered ISA SCSI card properly? I have the I/O and IRQ settings on the card, but don't know where to put the information. You first need to figure out what module you need. The Hardware HOWTO was the right place to start, but you need to learn to use it just a bit better. To the right of each entry there is usually a listing of the Linux driver that works with your hardware. See below. The card itself (Adaptec 1502) is listed in the Linux Hardware HOWTO as supported, but I don't know what modules to load, what arguments to give them, how to get them configured at install time, or where the documentation is. First, are you sure your card is supported? I see the 1502E, but no mention of just a 1502. Maybe there's not a plain 1502? Anyway, looking to the right of the 1502E entry it lists the AHA1520 driver. Now you can go to the kernel source and look at the file drivers/scsi/aha152x.c and it explains how to use either lilo command line options (if aha152x is built into the kernel) or symbols for module configuration if aha152x isn't built into the kernel but built as a module. Good Luck! Gary
Re: How to set up ISA SCSI card.
Hi I have an AVA1505, which is similar. What you do is set the jumpers. The module you should use is the aha152x module. The problem with both of these cards is that they don't have on-board BIOS's and therefore do not auto-probe when the module is installed, so you have to set up the module manually. Try modprobe -a aha152x aha152x=ioport,irq,scsiidofcard,parity,reconnect For my card, the append line was 0x340,11,7,1,1. The IRQ and IOPORT are required, the others are extra.

ISA SCSI card in Python
I have an Adaptec 1502 SCSI card which is of the pre-PnP ISA jumpered variety. Refreshingly, it is documented on the silkscreen, so I know it's set up for I/O=140h and IRQ=9. But, in installing Debian 2.2, I didn't see where you can give it this information. It seems like there should be a driver module for it, but there's no specific mention of this card, and scsi-generic doesn't seem to take any arguments (that is, there's no dialog box to enter arguments for it). Am I missing something obvious here? Surely this doesn't require a custom install disk or anything -- SCSI is popular and this card is listed in the Hardware HOWTO as a supported one. An (unrelated?) problem involves the booting process: when I try to boot directly from the hard drive, it stops after printing the LI (from LILO) and hangs up indefinitely. I've seen this before, but I can't remember where. Anyway, it worked with Debian 2.1, so I don't really understand why it would mess up now. What is it trying to do at that point? Thanks in advance, -- Terry Hancock [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: SCSI card
Sarah, With a bit of research I located this site: http://support.umax.co.uk/technotes/f096B.htm Which tells me the card is a dtc-3181le and can be set up under linux using: insmod g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0x280 dtc_3181e=1 While not being able to help you directly, I can make a few suggestions. 1) Please don't send a native BIG config file to a List. It is mostly comprised of what is NOT chosen. The positive information is desirable and important, but can be substantially truncated as follows, say for /boot/config-2.2.17: grep -v not config-2.2.17 config-2.2.17-yes The grep -v not will exclude only the not lines and all the others will be in the much smaller config-2.2.17-yes 12100 Oct 5 17:29 config-2.2.17 3378 Oct 14 11:20 config-2.2.17-yes 2) It is very important to have your card identified correctly. Your problem could merely be not EXACTLY correct options during the insmod. While running under Windows do: Start ControlPanel System Devices Properties, and get as much information as you can from it. There should be an FCC-ID on the card, which you can use to interrogate the Database at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ 3) Once you've verified the id, send a query to the Debian's debian_user debian-user@lists.debian.org which have much more depth than this specialized COLOS List Good hunting, MarvS = Hiya, Thanks to all for your suggestions so far about my scsi card problems (my original post is repeated below). David (Brown), thanks too, but the card does work under windows with my zip drive, so I don't think the problem is that it is a full true card. I am sure it is a lot less than the real deal (it has no internal connector) but that is not what is stopping it working, as it works just fine under windoze, for running the zip drive. Thanks for confirming that it is a scsi, with the old DB25 on the back - I think there are a lot of people out there with these sorts of cards! I have asked about getting a scsi card new and prices are $100+, and then they don't have the DB25 I need to run my zip drive, and I'd have to buy an expensive adapter as well. There are a few computer flea markets around, but I am not too keen on the idea, as I am really busy right now and driving around to these things, spending $$ on a second hand card only to find its broken or it isn't the right card is going to be a real pain! If I have to buy another card I'll order one over the 'net and I can at least get it replaced if it doesn't work. But ideally the card I have is just right for what I need, it just needs to work on my Linux box! *** Could it possibly be my kernel config? ** I think I have everything on that I need, but my config is attached, if anyone is inspired to have a look for me! * Original Post Can anyone help me with getting a scsi card working under Corel linux?

Desperately looking for help with a PCMCIA SCSI card!
Dear sirs, first of all, beg your pardon for the dramatical subject of this e-mail ;-), but I'm really desperated. My problem: I have an ASUS F7400 Laptop (a.k.a. ASUS Grandio Laptop). I have installed Debian 2.2 (a.k.a. Potato). I have a PCMCIA SCSI Card: Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480A Cardbus (Adaptec APA-1480 SCSI Host Adapter). I am still trying to make it work under Potato. When I insert the card in any socket, I always receive the following message: aic7xxx: Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI controller at PCI 35/0/0 aic7xxx: I/O ports already in use, ignoring. scsi : 0 hosts. I can't imagine why the I/O ports are already in use. Well, let's tell the whole story. I install kernel-source-2.2.15 package and also the PCMCIA source. I compiled both the kernel and modules with make-kpkg (kernel-package). After installing the .deb packages, I tried to make the PCMCIA card work and I got the messages above. Yes, both cb_enabler and apa1480_cb are charged in memory (lsmod). I have repeated this process as much as five times (of course, selecting SCSI support in kernel, but choosing no SCSI low-level adapter). Desperated, I have purged all 2.2.15 stuff (source, image, modules, etc.) and I have installed (today) the 2.2.17 kernel-image (potato) and the corresponding PCMCIA modules. Okay, let's give us a chance! ;-(( No, the same error messages. I have read the whole PCMCIA HOWTO, checking if the config.opts defines a large enough IO memory range and ... ¡yes! Everything seems to be okay, but my card is still not working! A colleague of mine has the same laptop. He installed Mandrake and ... the same card is perfectly working in his system. I have checked the config files in the Mandrake and it seems the same as in my Debian system. Where the error is? Must I have to install Mandrake? ... No, ¡never! ;-) Please, anybody can help me? I have already posted this message in the spanish users list (a week ago) and I got no answer to my problem. I have just suscribed to this list as the last chance to make the card work. And ... some more info: the card works fine in the Windoze also installed in my lapton. It reports: IRQ=11; Memory=0602-06020FFF; I/O port=1000-10FF; Memory=0601-0601 Of course I have checked all of this in /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports. Concretely the I/O port range is not in use. Thank you very much in advance for your help and patience. Best regards, P.S.: By the way, someone can tell me how to use the kernel-package (make-kpkg) to configure the PCMCIA modules? I have tried make-kpkg modules_config and it didn't work. Well, I am trying to build the trusted versions for cardctl, etc. and there is no way of achieving this with make-kpkg.

Re: Desperately looking for help with a PCMCIA SCSI card!
Sorry ... I didn't notice ... In /var/log/syslog I see that cb_config choose io 1000-10ff (same as Windoze), mem 6003-60030fff (almost the same as Windoze ;-), and rom mem 6002-6002 (again, almost the same as windoze). Then cb_enable performs the io mapping to 1000-10ff and the mem mapping to 6002-60030fff (as it should be expected). Finally apa1480_attach causes the error messages of module aic7xxx ... really strange!!! Any help, please? I am totally lost ...

aha1520 scsi card
I have picked up an Adaptec aha1520 and installed it into my computer. I build a new kernel with module support for aha152x and did all the isapnp stuff to probe the card... With isapnp I set the card to io: 0x340 irq: 11 But when modprob aha152x with the required parameters it fails to insert the module. So I tried building the support into the kernel, this did not work either. Can someone help me get this going or tell me where I can find information on getting this particular card working in linux? Thanks Paul

Thanks Paul Paul, I don't know about your particular card, but I know from bitter recent experience that the isapnp (isapnptools) approach doesn't necessarily work with some devices. I was trying to configure some NICs, but they silently failed giving bizarre results. I finally booted the box to DOS and configured the NICs with a DOS utility I got from Intel. I suggest you consider the same approach. I think what you'd need for your scsi card is at http://www.adaptec.com/support/overview/aha1520.html. Disclaimer: the issues for scsi cards may be different than NICs; this is outside my small envelope of knowledge ;-) Stan
installation hang up at SCSI card
I couldn't install Debian because the boot kernel hangs up at the SCSI card(2940). There are thousands of bug reports about this. Are the debian people still working? Why didn't they try to do anything about it? Is there anyone know the solution? Thanks. The problem is that the default kernel on the debian boot floppy image has EVERY thing but the kitchen sink in it as far as scsi controller support is concerned. I had the same problem (with an AHA2840). I solved it by borrowing and IDE cd rom and installing debian off that. I had to disable the bios in the scsi controller so that it would NOT be detected on boot, then install off the IDE cd rom, then compile in support for the controler into my kernel, then re-enable the bios in the controller, then (finally) I had working support for the scsi controller. This only worked because my boot disk was ide (only needed the scsi for the cd rom, and a second hard disk which I later made the /usr partition). A better way is to get a replacement kernel for the boot floppy which ONLY has support for the scsi controller of your choice. Why can't debian do it the RedHat way and have NO compiled in support for scsi hw? They ASK what controller you have AFTER booting the kernel and then load the correct module. BTW I downloaded stormx linux and tried to install it on a system with a scsi cd rom and found they have NO support for scsi AT ALL in their support. I guess they only work with IDE cd roms (at this time). === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . __ Do You Yahoo!?

SCSI card driver setup: how?
I've got an Initio 9100S SCSI card, which is not recognized by Linux out right or build in the kernel setup. On the web site of Initio (http://www.initio.com) there is a Linux page with drivers. I downloaded the lx_91w.zip package which contains three files... - ini9100.c - ini9100.h - ini9100.lib There was no description on how to install them that I could find on the site, so could someone give me a hint on where to start? Thanks. Hans

So, does anyone know if the UMAX Astra 1220 S also works with a normal SCSI card? (If so, I'll just buy one of those). Or, maybe someone has tips how to get the card I've got to work? Of cource, the stuff came without any information as to what brand SCSI card I have. So, all I know about the card is that the chip on it has written on it `DOMEX 436P, 9817, 002-D43P-001' (Oh, please also CC me, as I'm not (yet) subscirbed to this list). This sounds as if it could be the same card as is supplied with the Artec AT12 scanner. Here is the message I sent to SANE-Devel recently about this. I have updated it slightly since then. If you get this card to work, do please tell me! On Thu, 18 Mar 1999, Christoph Doerbeck A242369 wrote to sane-devel: I apologize for asking this question again, because I've seen it asked many times on this list, but a buddy of mine bought a UMAX 1220S and received a dtc scsi adapter with it should it work with linux? The card that comes with the Artec AT12 scanner is similar if not identical. According to the Windoze98 device manager it is called a DTC3181X/3151X. The chip on it bears the letters DTCT436P. It has two jumpers. Domex's web site (www.domex.com.tw or www.domexusa.com but NOT www.domex.com) doesn't list this board, but does list a board called DMX3181LE which I suspect is identical to mine and probably to yours too. They do not provide a Linux driver for this board (although they do for some of their PCI SCSI cards). They provide a short FAQ which explains what the jumpers do (sort of...). One jumper switches between plug-n-play and plug-n-run mode. I don't know what this means: my card is set to plug-n-run. For the other jumper I quote: J2 1-2: OFF 1WS ( One Wait State means CPU waiting one CLK to process peripheral devices) * 1-2: ON 0WS (Zero Wait State means CPU waiting zero CLK to process peripheral devices ) The default setting is 1WS: I don't know what this means either. I'd be grateful if someone could enlighten me! If this doesn't sound like your card, please ignore the rest of this message. === In my experience, you can't get these cards to work with kernel 2.0.34 but you can with 2.2.1. You have to compile the kernel with generic NCR5380 scsi support and use the boot prompt argument dtc3181e=0x2c0,0. (This is the bit that you need to know. Just turning on all the SCSI devices will NOT work). I still have not got my AT12 working well: it does one scan at most and then refuses to respond. I don't know if this is a SANE problem or a SCSI driver problem. I suspect the latter as other AT12 users can use SANE and they are usually using other SCSI cards. Other features: (*) The card is always detected at bootup. (*) The scanner is only detected if it is turned on on at bootup. you can't turn it on later and do something like echo scsi add-single-device 2 0 5 0 /proc/scsi/scsi to add the scanner (*) If the scanner has been detected and you then turn it off, the machine locks up solid and requires use of the Microsoft button to restart it. I wondered at one time if it would be better to use a kernel module for the scsi support. I tried this and it does allow you to turn off the scanner without immediately locking up the machine. A lock-up does, however, occurr (IIRC) if you try to unload the kernel modules. Do please report whether your card is the same as I describe and whether you succeed in getting it to work. HTH!

Ries, Adaptec cards are everywhere, and are supported by everybody. My problem with Adaptec cards is that they are very sensitive to cable troubles. I have replaced cables more times than I would like to admit. If you do use an Adaptec card, use the very best cables money can buy. Or you can use Mylex (aka Bus Logic) cards which are reputed not to be so sensitive to cabling. Linux does support them.

I'll gladly recommend Mylex BusLogic 958B which is an ultra wide, 15 devices, narrow/wide/wide external (notice only 2 out of 3 work at the same time as is mostly the case) host adapter. It's fast, worked flawlessly here (except a problem with putting a narrow scanner on the wide external port - that's not considered legal scsi, the author of the driver tells me!). Mylex has _excellent_ tech support, although no Linux specific support (which they refer to the driver author - he responded to the above problem within 1/2 hour by email!). I have had next to no problems with cables, but (in my defense) I got (expensive) teflon cable when I grew out of the provided (teflon) cable. Mylex tells me that telfon cable is _required_ for Ultra operation. If you want to spend a bundle on the host adaptor check out (the company) DPT? I have no experience with their products (drivers and such) but some of their cards are upgradeable to (hardware) RAID. Also, you might want to consider the impact of LVD (low-voltage differential). /Allan -- Allan M.

Re: [OT] Whitch adaptec SCSI card?
I'm using a Buslogic BT-958 for more then a year now. I'm very happy with. At that time I choosed it instead of Adaptec because of a lot of problems people had with Adaptec cards. I don't say there are still problems with Adaptec but my next card will be Buslogic (Mylex). For the record: I don't own any shares of Mylex. Just a happy user.
