Elvis,
Re-read my note and you will see the solution was to use a newer SCSI
driver. For installation, that means a distro with a newer kernel. Mandrake
7.1 uses 2.2.15, and Mandrake 7.0 used 2.2.14. Since 7.1 worked, I'd guess
you need a distro with kernel > 2.2.14.

Hi John,
I am having the same problem with Redhat Linux 6.0. If you happen to find a
solution, could you please e-mail the details.
Thanks

Subject: SCSI Errors with 2940U2W gone with Mandrake 7.1
For weeks I have been plagued with errors when trying to install Linux on my
new machine with it's Adaptec 2940U2W and Seagate LVD drives. Previously I
would
receive errors such as:
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
and
SCSI host 0 ch 0 reset pid 0 timed out - trying harder
and
aborting command due to timeout: pid 0 scsi 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 0x00 00
00
00 00 00
and
host 0 abort (pid 0) timed out - resetting
This would appear to loop indefinitely (I did not wait "indefinitely" to
find
out!). Unfortunately, no one seemed able to determine the actual problem.
Besides installing 7.1, I had also:
* Installed an active terminator on the end of the SCSI chain, LVD side.
* Set terminiation to "auto" on the adapter, both Ultra and Ultra2 sides.
* Enabled "term power to SCSI chain" on BOTH of the LVD drives I had
installed.
* Enabled termination on the CDROM residing on the Narrow/Ultra side.
I hope this message makes it to anyone else having this same problem!
