Is it possible your parallel cable is backwards? (I am guessing this since the size check read a 0 data bit with and an unconnected or unresponsive 7I43 I would expect the data to be all ones) The size mismatch doesnt mean anything about the 7I43 since the card is not found. Can you post the dmesg with no 7I43 connected and with the 7I43 connected but with HostMot2s debugging turned on (maybe post them to pastebin so save cloging up the users list) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K > The only unified storage solution that offers unified management > Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient. > Guaranteed. http://p.sf.net/sfu/emc-vnx-dev2dev > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics (\__/) (='.'=) This is Bunny.
