I have an Adaptec AIC-7890 SCSI II controller on my motherboard. There is an LVD connector on the motherboard for this controller and connected I have two Western Digital 18.3 GByte Utlra2-LVD drives.
The problem is with all of the 2.3 kernels going back as far a 2.3.41 (that is as far back as I have tried), I get error messages when the disks are probed. I don't have the exact messages with me, they are at home. But the basically say:
invalid cur_addr:0xHEXNUM during WIDE_RESIDUE sg_address[1 or -1]:0xHEXNUM sg_length[1 or -1]:DECIMALNUM
Also, when I do anything significant (start X for example) I start getting delays and SCSI timeout messages.
This controller and drivers work great under the 2.2.9 kernel that installs by default with RedHat 6.0. It also works greate with Windows 98. This machine is an SMP machine if this has any effect.
Any ideas?
Thanks Jack W. Griffin Cypress Semiconductor
