Greetings.
Semi-related to bacula:
I am reinstalling a machine, Dell PowerEdge600c which is to become a new Bacula server.
I am having errors with the aic7xxx driver, both the new and old, using a host of different Linux distros, and kernels.
(Most recent error: "(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Referenced SCB 0 not valid during SELTO"
I have tried several different cards, many different cables and many different tape drives, libraries and terminators. All unsuccessful.
Does anyone have suggestions for a solid combination of Linux distros, kernel rev etc that I can try?
I have so far tried:
Gentoo with homebaked kernels in the 2.6.8 to 11 range
Debian 3.01 Sarge, both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels aic7xxx and aic7xxx_old both static and modules
Ubuntu Linux(essentially Debian) with 2.6 kernels, stock and homebuilt
SuSE 9.3 with no customization
The irritating part is that this setup worked fine with Windows 2000 Server and tape drives…
I am seeing lots of discussions about the aic driver in Linux, can anyone confirm it is possible to get scsi tapes working on adaptec 29160?
I'll try a 39160 shortly also
More detailed error messages available on request.
