Hi again, Here is the diagnosis so far: --> SuSE 8.0 Professional -- Using both aic7xxx and aic7xxx_old modules, I get no joy. The module doesn't load and the system just goes into a loop. --> SuSE 7.3 Professional -- The SCSI contoller is automatically detected and it works beautifully (5x 34 GB HDD). --> SuSE 7.2 Professional -- Using the only aic7xxx module available. the SCSI controller works without any issues. My prognosis: --> The aic7xxx and aic7xxx_old modules in SuSE 8.0 are fubar. --> SuSE 8.0 kernel has some issues. My Conclusion: Due to the urgency of me having to get this machine up and running I do not have time to try and compile a custome kernel and do any further investigation. I am going to have to go forward (rather reluctantly) with SuSE 7.3 Professional. Regards Q On Wed, 2002-10-23 at 16:16, Jim Bonnet wrote:

Greetings,
We are busy installing SuSE 8.0 on a Xeon 450 here at work. It has an onboard Adaptec AIC 7896 SCSI Controller.
When attempt to load the SCSI Modules I get:
aic7xxx_abort returns 0x2002
I have just flashed the BIOS and I have tried a few things that I found on Google, but it still isn't working.
The SCSI Controller and Drives definitely work as the machine just recently had Win NT and Win 2000 installed on it (as recently as yesterday).
Under reccomendation I loaded an earlier version of SuSE (SuSE 7.2) and the controller works perfectly. So now I am rather confused. :/
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Q
I have this same error.. I have yet to resolve the problem, I am running suse kernel 2.4.16... Which kernel are you running? Further- when you get this error does your machine hard lock?
What I find is that I can write to the tape device hanging on this card(2940UW) for several hundred megabytes and then for no apparent reason I get this error.
