Folks, I have a Dell Workstation 400 with an Adaptec 2940 UW. My software is RedHat 5.1 (5.0 upgrade). With the Linux kernel 2.0.34, this system works fine. With kernel 2.1.106, at boot time it finds the controller then reports a timeout, then goes into an infinite loop with reset/timeout messages. This is the boot disk and controller and is not being loaded as module (not using initrd). I had hoped to try the SMP features of 2.1.x (I can grab another PII/300 for testing), but am currently stuck. Note the 2.0.34 kernel was also built from the tarball, is not the RedHat shipped one, and is also not using initrd, and it works. scsi0: Adaptec ... EISA/VLGB/PCI) 5.0.18/3.2.4 ... scsi aborting command due to timeout: pid 1, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun0 Inquiry 00 00 00 FF 00 ... SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
