I've tested the driver with Linux 2.1.123 on an Asus P2B-LS and it seems to work. What makes me wonder is that during the boot process the driver claims running with 80 Mbyte synchronous:
4>scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.0pre13/3.2.4 <4> <Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> <4>scsi : 1 host. <4>scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 1, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 0x12 00 00 00 ff 00 <4>SCSI host 0 abort (pid 1) timed out - resetting <4>SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0. <6>(scsi0:0:0:0) Synchronous at 80.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15. <4> Vendor: IBM Model: DGHS09V Rev: 03C0 <4> Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
If i take a look into /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0, i see
Statistics: (scsi0:0:0:0) Device using Wide/Async transfers. ^ ^ ^ ^ Device Negotiation Settings Period Offset Bus Width User 000 000 1 Goal 000 000 1 Current 000 000 1 Total transfers 3595 (3370 read;225 written) blks(512) rd=16267; blks(512) wr=654
So, what is the REAL transfer mode? 80 Mbyte/s synchronous or 20 MByte/s or less asynchronous?
BTW: Doug should clean up his patch for 2.1.123. I've got a rejection for hunk 219 and had to clean up manually.
Greetings
