Hello SuSE folks, Today I wasn't able to login on my remote server over ssh, although the server was pingable. After about ten minutes I was able to login and I found these records in /var/log/warn Feb 18 16:13:50 box1 kernel: dpti0: Bus reset: SCSI Bus 0: tid: 9 Feb 18 16:13:50 box1 kernel: dpti0: Bus reset success.

what release of suse do you use? what is your scsi card?

Check out this link, http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/, these guys are keeping up the i20 stuff. Basicly these adaptec/dpt cards were supported well until 9.0, where they worked but you could not recover the raid. Suse 9.1 no support at all. and with suse 9.2, spotty support. I've got a dozen of these cards/machines and I can get suse 9.2 to install with an out of the box driver...but suse will frezze up after a little while. I've moved to adaptec 2120 and things work OK....joe On Mon, 2005-02-21 at 21:57 -0500, John Scott wrote:

Are you using the aacraid module for this card? I've got a 2200S and I've got similar issues with 9.1. I've tried booting from the 9.2 disks and get the scsi resets and then a kernel panic. I even tried the beta for RHEL 4 and got the scsi reset and then a kernel panic.

Went to Adaptec's site. Adaptec states that the latest firmware and drivers from their site work, but I haven't had any success. After going round and round with their support guys, they tried to say they didn't support 2.6 kernels until I sent them the url on their site that stated otherwise. Then they said they only supported the kernel that shipped on the disks - no kernel updates supported.

I suspect that the aacraid module is having issues with the 2.6 kernels. I've googled it and have come across quite a few posts with people having problems with Adaptec RAID cards and various distros.

The only combo I found that was stable using my 2200S was to use a 2.4 kernel distro with aacraid module. All the problems went away, but how long can you stay on 2.4 kernels and get vendor support? At some point, you move or you're on your own. My boss doesn't like that option.

I've decided that I'm going to replace the Adaptec card with an LSI Logic MegaRAID card. I haven't had any problems with any of their cards yet (knock on wood). Guess I've got an expensive paper weight for my desk now.

Were there any interesting messages in /var/log/messages at this time or just before it? Unless you did something to change the configuration, this looks like a hardware problem. The firewall message is probably the server trying to respond to a RELATED packet on a broken connection that had been reset.
