Hello World, [SuSE]
I recently bought an 'Ultra Wide Adaptec 2940'. Useing aic7xxx4.1.1 that came with SuSE 5.1, (normal lilo bootup) it fails with: scsi0: Scanning channel A for devices scsi:aborting command due to time out: pid 0 scsi 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0x00 00 00 00 00 00 scsi host 0 abort(pid0) timedout-resetting scsi bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0 "" "" a few more times with like .......trying harder.... scsi host probably an unrecoverable SCSI bus or device hang.
Now whats up with that? When: 1)a SuSE Distro boot disk (its the only way I can even boot my linux box now) a) will load kernel module aic7xxx and dectect everything just fine.
What would be the (sigh) difference of the SuSE distros boot disk aic7xxx kernel than, the kernel that SuSE loaded up for me?? When I picked aic7xxx to be installed........
Try to use the lx-suse kernel which is on our ftp-site. I think it has a newer release of the (BSDish) AIC driver in it, then the one on the CD.
