Dead Doug,
with kernel 2.0.33 (both with and without SMP), I found the following strange warning amoung the boot messages:
.... kernel: aic7xxx: <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> at PCI 13 kernel: aic7xxx: Warning - detected auto-termination. Please verify driver kernel: detected settings and use manual termination if necessary. kernel: aic7xxx: BIOS enabled, IO Port 0x8000, IO Mem 0xe4000000, IRQ 11, Revision B kernel: aic7xxx: Single Channel, SCSI ID 7, 16/255 SCBs, QFull 16, QMask 0x1f kernel: scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 4.1.1/3.2.1 kernel: scsi : 1 host. kernel: scsi0: Scanning channel A for devices. kernel: Vendor: QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL_TM2110S Rev: 300X kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 kernel: Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 kernel: scsi : detected 1 SCSI disk total. kernel: SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 4124736 [2014 MB] [2.0 GB] ....
The same text also appeared with kernel 2.0.32 + aic7xxx-abort-Nov05-32.patch. How do I "verify the driver settings" etc?
-------------------------------- My configuration: Tyan Titan pro Dual Pentium Pro board with 2 x PPro/200MHz 128MB RAM (mem=127M in lilo.conf) SMC Ultra ethernet card
The SCSI adapter identifies as Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra/Ultra W BIOS v 1.23
This is /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0:
Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 4.1.1/3.2.1 Compile Options: AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY : 15 AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_LUN : 8 AIC7XXX_TAGGED_QUEUEING: Enabled AIC7XXX_PAGE_ENABLE : Enabled AIC7XXX_PROC_STATS : Disabled
Adapter Configuration: SCSI Adapter: Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter (AIC-788x chipset) Host Bus: Single Base IO: 0x8000 Base IO Memory: 0xe4000000 IRQ: 11 SCBs: Used 8, HW 16, Page 255 Interrupts: 27717 Serial EEPROM: True Extended Translation: Enabled SCSI Bus Reset: Enabled Ultra SCSI: Disabled Disconnect Enable Flags: 0xff
----------------------------------------------- I am plagued with lockups of the system anyway, they occur every few days without SMP and within a few hours with SMP. The systems hangs with no messages around, as far as I can see. I tend to blame the SCSI adapter for that, because I have 3 more machines with (almost) the same hardware, but they say
Adaptec AHA-2940 AU BIOS v 1.30
and are stable (even under SMP) for several months.
I tried kernel 2.1.72 + SMP on the unstable machines, with a strange result: it locked cpu0 and continued to run on cpu1. This also survived a reboot, I had to press the reset button to get cpu0 back to work...
Any ideas about further diagnostics and possible fixes are welcome (and badly needed)!
Burkhard Bunk.
