| |
The aic7xxx was broken after 5.0.13 (in 5.0.15 it was already broken), after that version I get scsi timeouts during kernel boot and although it keeps trying it goes nowhere. In 2.1.102 (which includes 5.0.13) everything works fine (It's a very stable kernel), but with 5.0.15 and later versions the kernel doesn't boot up. I think the problem is with the aic7xxx driver and not any new scsi feature, because I have tried to patch 2.1.102 up to 5.0.18 and I have the same problem. I have tried every combo in lilo boot config (I mean, no_reset, pci_parity, etc) and it makes no difference. I have an Adaptec 2940 UW adapter integrated in a Supermicro P6DLS mainboard, and have compiled scsi support and the driver into the kernel (that is not as a module), the detection routine display the following info in 2.1.102:
(scsi0) <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 14/0 (scsi0) Wide Channel, SCSI ID=7, 16/255 SCBs (scsi0) BIOS enabled, IO Port 0xec00, IRQ 11 (scsi0) IO Memory at 0xfebff000, MMAP Memory at 0xc8800000 (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 413 instructions downloaded scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.0.13/3.2.4 <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> scsi : 1 host.

in 2.1.104 and later kernels it stop after
(scsi0:0:-1:-1) Scanning channel for devices.
and start producing timeouts and resets.
Any idea? If you want more info ask for it, I will provide as much as necessary.
Thanks in advance, and keep the great work, we are all waiting for a really good 2.2 kernel soon (at least before 2000 :)
PS: I have always tried latest kernel but I can't test it anymore :(, although after long use I have discover 2.1.102 to be a really stable kernel (with uptimes of more than a week without a failure, and I haven't tested it for longer times :)
