The SYM driver do not support some old 53c810 chips, it might be what
you are seeing, use the NCR driver for thoose.
If that does not work, ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
Have you checked your cabling and terminations?
Strange that you get the ncr53c8xx_reset message, have you copied it
wrong, or are you using the ncr driver?
$ grep ncr53c8xx_reset *.c
ncr53c8xx.c:int ncr53c8xx_reset(Scsi_Cmnd *cmd, unsigned int reset_flags)
ncr53c8xx.c:int ncr53c8xx_reset(Scsi_Cmnd *cmd)
ncr53c8xx.c: printk("ncr53c8xx_reset: pid=%lu reset_flags=%x serial_number=%ld
serial_number_at_timeout=%ld\n",
ncr53c8xx.c: printk("ncr53c8xx_reset: command pid %lu\n", cmd->pid);
$ grep sym53c8xx_reset *.c
sym53c8xx.c:int sym53c8xx_reset(Scsi_Cmnd *cmd, unsigned int reset_flags)
sym53c8xx.c:int sym53c8xx_reset(Scsi_Cmnd *cmd)
sym53c8xx.c: printk("sym53c8xx_reset: pid=%lu reset_flags=%x serial_number=%ld
serial_number_at_timeout=%ld\n",
sym53c8xx.c: printk("sym53c8xx_reset: command pid %lu\n", cmd->pid);
For 2),
cp ..../disks-i386/current/images-1.44/compact/kernel-config ..../linux/.config
choose NCR driver instead of SYM
mount resque floopy as /mnt
build and copy the bzImage to rescue floppy as linux
cd /mnt; ./rdev.sh
cd; umount /mnt
Try it out
