Help ! (trèsgros) Problême avec une Adaptec AHA-2940

2002-09-07 Thread Nicolas Massé
Bonjour,

J'ai un énorme problême avec ma carte SCSI (Adaptec AHA-2940) :
   - lorsque j'utilisait un noyau 2.2.19 (celui de la potato) ma carte 
fonctionnait à merveille !
   - maintenant que j'utilise le noyau 2.4.18 ma carte ne fonctionne plus car, 
des que j'essaye d'accéder à un disque dur SCSI, j'obtient le message suivant :

Despite all the installation problems people have had with these cards I
succesfully installed Debian on a new PIII from the standard boot disks
and it worked fine. there are now 2 in that system and they are working
great.

You should check the SCSI select settings at boot time just to check they
are ok, especially the termination settings and which cables you have
plugged into it etc. 


Good luck!

Re: Adaptec AHA-2940

1999-08-26 Thread John Gay


I had a similar problem with my PII. My solution, though not eloquent, was to
use 2.0 boot, driver and base disks to start the installation. I then had to
upgrade one of the libs before I could then use dselect to install from my 2.1
CD's. dselect will tell you which lib needs updating. You then can copy the
required .deb file to /tmp and use
dpkg -i libxx.xx.deb
to install the new lib. There is probably a better way around this, but this
worked for me. It seems the boot kernel for debian 2.1 is more touchy about SCSI
that the boot kernel for 2.0. I have even compiled new kernels based on 2.2.9
with no other problems with my SCSI hardware.
I'm still new to linux, but I like to offer what help I can to return the
favours of all the people on this and other lists that have helped me get this
far.

I am using an Adaptec 2940 U2W without any problems.  The machine is
running Slink and humming right along.

There are some special 2940-boot disks around, since your problem
is aparently not unique.  Check the Debian web-site to download those
disks.  Maybe they help.

Yes, it does work, but you need special boot-up disks to get started. My
understanding is that the default kernels have support for all sorts of
SCSI adapters, and somehow this confuses the machine with an AHA-2940.
The special boot disks have trimmed the kernel down to supporting just
the AHA-2940.

Search the Debian Mail List Archives (using the search engine at the
bottom of the page, not the Search button at the top of the page) for
AHA-2940 for the past year or so and you should find several hits with
more info on this issue, including where to find the special boot-up
disks (somewhere on the Debian site IIRC).

Andy, 

I just bought an ASUS P5A mobo with 128 MB 100 MHZ RAM,
and a 2940 controller. I used the zero floppy installation 
using Linux Press's CD set that comes with Dale Scheetz's 
Debian Installation book. I think these are 'official cd' 
images. URL www.linuxpress.com

It works like a charm. I did have to remove the xdm package 
and killed the xdm process so the system quit hanging, 
but not boot problems at all.

This happened to me too with my 2940U or my 2940U2W (don't remember).

Check wheter you are correctly terminating everything (i.e. internal
and external bus) (even if it works in M$ Win) (or set auto
termination) (lots of parents..:). 

I solved it by enabling auto termination which I disabled cause I
thought I was smart. seemed as if I wasn't :/

On my system the auto termination on a AHA 2940 works correctly.  If
you have an external SCSI device connected and the termination is
still ON you should manually configure your SCSI host-adapter to
termination off.  I wonder that the above lines didn't appear in your
message log at all.  I used dmesg to display them.

Adaptec controllers are usually referenced by the chipset rather than
the model number, so you want to enable the aic7xxx driver.  Some have

a patch for it on ftp.dialnet.net in /pub/linux/aic7xxx/2.0.32.  I haven't
used it yet, as I don't seem to have problems with the stock 2.0.32 driver.

Hi.

What kernel are you trying to compile?
If 2.0.29  - then while make menuconfig
under SCSI / Low-level drivers you will see 
Adaptec AHA274X/284X/294X support

If the latest - 2.0.32, then it is under 
Adaptec AIC7xxx support because 2940 uses AIC7880 chip.
