RE: [gentoo-user] 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 and Adaptec 2940

2003-10-29 Thread Van Eps, Nathan D. (James Tower)
Hello,

I think mine used to do that when I used genkernel. I know something SCSI
was in a loop, but I couldn't read the screen because something was wrong
with the console. I ended up compiling by hand and I just included aic78xxx
in the kernel. Then things were fine.

Are there any known problems with Athlon XP kernels and a plain old 
Adaptec 2940? I have one driving a slide scanner and a CD-ROM, and it 
fails to initialise.

After successful POST, and the Adaptec screen identifies the devices 
hanging off the chain, the init procedure gets knocked for a loop. It 
gets stuck producing messages like:

host 1 abort timed out - bus is being reset
(scsi:0:-1:-1) Disconnected list inconsistency ...
Yikes! There is a loop in the free list ...

and this goes on and on, bumping the pid up by one as it goes.

It worked fine under Redhat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.20-20.7). I'm a little 
suspicious that the card might be borked, as Knoppix 3.2 
didn't pick up 
any devices on the chain.

I tried setting acpi=no in the kernel parms, but that didn't help. I 
haven't yet tried to restart under RH7.3; that would involve a bit of 
hard-drive shuffling.

Ideas, suggestions, replacement cards welcomed.

thanks,
  Stewart

I had the same problem with gentoo-sources.
Went back to generic sources.
