I have a severe problem here with a Jensen (DEC AXP150)
with a Adaptec 1740 SCSI controller. my first disk is an
IBM 1 GB disk (/dev/sda), and the second one is a QUANTUM
FIREBALL 3,2 GB disk (/dev/sdb).
whenever I try to access the 3,2 GB disk, I get severe
problems.
sometimes, I cannot even get into fdisk for changing partitions
or anything else, its nearly impossible to do something about it.
When I use fdisk and try to clear the partition table, for
example, I get the following SCSI lockup:
scsi: aborting command due to timeout: pid 9282, scsi0, channel 0, id1,
lun0, Read(6) 00 00 02 0e 00
scsi host 0 abort (pid 9285) timed out - resetting
scsi bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
....
(this continues forever with changing pid's)
I already low-level formatted the drive on another PC with
an adaptec 2940 controller, and the disk
works flawlessly under Windows NT and DOS + Windows 95.
I am using RedHat 4.0, and already upgraded to kernel 2.0.28,
but this changed nothing.
If I get these errors I cannot do anything anymore, just switch off.
Does anyone have some clues what I could do about this,
where to even start for anything that could help me out ?
please email-CC to thomas@tekelec.de, since I do not read the
mailing list, as there are so many messages I cannot grep through
all of them.
Thanks,
Thomas.
