I have a system with 3 SCSI drives that is using an aha1542CF with kernel 2.0.34, loading its driver as a module. I changed the SCSI card to a BIOS-less aha152x (also used the appropriate driver) an for some reason the system was only able to detect the first two SCSI drives. I heard about a limitation on the number of SCSI drives being set somewhere in the kernel, but I do not know if that applies here. Does anyone know of anyway I can get all the drives recognized.
PS
On another note. Occasionally I get this error when trying to start swapping to one of the drives. Something about 1024 blocks not supported. swapon then freezes. If the system is up I can still do things (except killing swapon). If the system is booting and enabling swapping through fstab, the system freezes permanently. (same cause, swapon) Once the error happens, its happens whenever I try to swap to the drive, even after rebooting. However, if I run mkswap on it, swap starts to function on it again, for an undeterminant number of times. As a workaround I am now running mkswap before enabling swapping when starting up. Any ideas what could be causing this?
