hmm not off the top of my head, the driver when it loads should give a driver version (I don't use .34 anymore but I did) ; ie

Feb 4 08:37:17 the-penguin kernel: scsi0 : ncr53c8xx - revision 3.1f ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Could it be a termination or hardware interupt problem? I have 6 of these cards in various Linux servers, and have never had a problem with hamm. Another question I have to the greater Debian community is what version of the kernel is in slink? I am not suggesting slink to install just to trouble shoot. *--* Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *--* Voice: 425.739.4247 *--* Fax: 425.827.9577 *--* HTTP://www.otak-k.com/~lawrence/ -------------------------------------- - - - - - - O t a k i n c . - - - - - On Mon, 15 Feb 1999, Ruslan Ermilov wrote: > Hi! > > Well, here is my screen's snapshot: > > > > > This disk uses Linux 2.0.34 (from kernel-image-2.0.34_2.0.34-4) > > Press <F1> for help, or <ENTER> to boot! > boot: > Loading root.bin............. > Loading linux.............. > > [...] > > ncr53c875-1: restart (scsi reset). > ncr53c875-1: copying script fragments into the on-board RAM ... > SCSI host 1 abort (pid 22) timed out - resetting > SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0. > ncr53c8xx_reset: pid=22 reset_flags=2 serial_number=59 > serial_number_at_timeout=59 > ncr53c875-1: restart (scsi reset). > ncr53c875-1: copying script fragments into the on-board RAM ... > SCSI host 1 abort (pid 22) timed out - resetting > SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0. > ncr53c8xx_reset: pid=22 reset_flags=2 serial_number=60 > serial_number_at_timeout=60 > ncr53c875-1: restart (scsi reset). > ncr53c875-1: copying script fragments into the on-board RAM ... > SCSI host 1 abort (pid 22) timed out - resetting > SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0. > ncr53c8xx_reset: pid=22 reset_flags=2 serial_number=61 > serial_number_at_timeout=61 > > [...] > > ncr53c875-1: restart (scsi reset). > ncr53c875-1: copying script fragments into the on-board RAM ... > SCSI host 1 abort (pid 22) timed out - resetting > SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0. > ncr53c8xx_reset: pid=22 reset_flags=2 serial_number=130 > serial_number_at_timeout=130 > > > and so on... > > > Any clue? > > > > On Mon, Feb 15, 1999 at 07:23:49AM -0800, Lawrence Walton wrote: > > HAMM install disks should see it right off the bat. > > > > *--* Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > *--* Voice: 425.739.4247 > > *--* Fax: 425.827.9577 > > *--* HTTP://www.otak-k.com/~lawrence/ > > -------------------------------------- > > - - - - - - O t a k i n c . - - - - - > > > > > > > > On Mon, 15 Feb 1999, Ruslan Ermilov wrote: > > > > > Hi! > > > > > > How can I install Debian on a system with Symbios 53c875 SCSI? > > > > > -- > Ruslan Ermilov Sysadmin and DBA of the > [EMAIL PROTECTED] United Commercial Bank > +380.652.247.647 Simferopol, Ukraine > > http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve > http://www.oracle.com Enabling The Information Age > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > >
