Ok chaps, here we go again.
This piece of SCSI hardware used to work just fine with my 2.2 kernel, but with 2.4 and 8.1 it just gives up on me with parity errors, write timeouts... I already disabled Parity checking in BIOS. I also tried both frives aic7xxx_old and the normal one. Anyone has a clue, I find this annoying.
I suspect this might be due to the use of the newer aic7xxx module although I am not sure whether that module handles that card or not. I've had similar problems with a 2940UW controller and that module (which comes from Adaptec and in my view is a piece of crap). Try using the aic7xxx_old module which always worked very well with Adaptec controllers. I hope they get their act together with the newer module but it has been bad for a long time with no improvements. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
