Hi,
I have some problem with the new AIC7xxx SCSI driver that comes
with kernel 2.4.0-0.99.5. My box:
o Motherboard - Asus P2B-LS ACPI Bios Revision 1011
with Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter onboard
o 2 IBM hard drives DCAS-34330W, DRVS09V
o PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-40TS Rev: 1.00
o YAMAHA CRW4416S Rev: 1.0e
When compiling the kernel with the new AIC7xxx SCSi driver my box
hangs during boot when scanning the SCSI bus. The 2 hard drives and
my Plextor CD-ROM drive are recognized. When looking for the last
device the boot process falls into a sleeping state. When after this
resetting the box, even the Adaptec Bios does only know the first 3
devices but not the Yamaha CDRW. I have to power off and then during
the next time booting I should let the Adaptec SCSI Bios utility
rescan the Bus. Then it finds all my devices again.
For this reason the "fisher" CD does not boot 'n hangs when looking
for the AIC7xxx SCSI driver and then scanning the SCSI bus.
When compiling the 2.4.0-0.99.5 kernel with aic7xxx_old SCSI drive
everything is ok.
I run my box for 2 years with this setting and never had any problems.
Is there a way to let e.g. the "fisher" CD use the aic7xxx_old?
Thanx in advance.
Daniel.
