Hi, The following is a workaround for a problem I've experienced: The installation of SuSE 8.1 on a dual Xeon 2.4 GHz machine with 3ware IDE RAID 7500-4 (4 x 120 GB HD, booting from the RAID) went OK but then the machine failed to boot. The message was 3w_xxxx: scsi 0: Unit #0: command (0xc33d5c00) timed out, reseting card ... scsi: device set offline - not ready or command retry failed after host reset: host 0 channel 0 id 1 lun 0 ... It turned out the problem was with the k_smp*.rpm kernel on installation CDs. I booted from the installation CD (SMP kernel is not used in this case) and updated the kernel (I downloaded k_smp-2.4.19-163.i586.rpm via FTP). The new kernel then booted OK. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
