Ever since kernel 2.0.33 my SCSI setup does nt seem to work anymore. I have an Adaptec 2940 UW a Seagate Barracuda Ultra SCSI as sda at scsi id = 0, an external Jazz drive as sdb at scsi id=4 and a Quantum Atlas Ultra Wide SCSI as sdc at scsi id=6. Performance with 2.0.34 that I compiled from the tarball is not satisfactory -- I have SCSI support for aic7xxx compiled into the kernel (not module) and upon bootup the kernel does not recognize the jazz drive 9 out of ten times, which means the Atlas becomes sdb instead of sdc and everything gets messed up. I tried increasing the time-out after a scsi bus reset from 5 to 15 and even 20 seconds but that didn't help. I tried patching the kernel with version 5.0.19 of the aic7xxx driver but then I simply get a scsi parity error. I even compiled 2.1.106 and I still have problems with the scsi driver -- upon bootup the kernel enters an infinite loop of reseting the scsi bus. So I am still using 2.0.33 but I wonder if anyone is experiencing similar problems.
