Subject: Cannot boot Debian 2,2 with SCSI Yamaha 8824s CD-RW
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 23:10:14 -0400
hello,
I'm looking for a little help.
My setup:
Initio, ini9090u scsi host adpter connected to
Yamaha 8824S CD-RW
Debian 2.2
also I have a second SCSI host adapter (advansys 3940U2W) , I'm not sure if
it's relevant. I couldn't boot up even when I yanked this host.
Linux seems to detect all of my SCSI devices correctly during boot up as I
see something like this on screen
scsi0: Advansys SCSI 3.2M: PCI Ultra2-Wide: BIOS C8000/7FFF, io A400/FF,
IRQ9
scsi1: Initio INI-9X00U/UW SCSI device driver; Revision 1.03g
scsi : 2hosts
vendor : Quantum drive (connected to the Advansys host)
then it shows what's connected to the Initio host...
vendor Fujitsumodel: etc etc
Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi1, chanell 0, id 0,lun 0
vendor YAMAHAmodel CRW88824S etc
type CD-ROM etc
Detected scsi CD-rom sr0 at scsi1, channel 0, id1 ,lun 0
then the system freezes.
I can boot with any and all devices except when the Yamaha CD-RW is
attached. ex advansys+sda+intio+sdb, initio+sdb ... so I'm pretty sure it's
the yamaha CD-RW that's the problem. The CD-RW works fine when I run Win98.
What measures can I take to get my system up and running?

Hi,
I have a SoundBlaster 16 PCI soundcard that I'm trying to use with Linux.
What module(s) should I be loading to use it? I've tried the es1371 module,
but that doesn't seem to have microphone support.
Thanks,

Help
I am running 6.2, and everything seems to work on the install just fine. I
go to reboot after installing the drivers from Promise, and get a CRC Error
message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, how did you setup RH 7 with the fasttrack driver?? I couldn't seem to
get the driver to install as a module using the kernel from 7. Thanks for
any help in advance.

That's OK. Given the average luser out there, I'd be quite glad of it
staying of some appeal to those of us who've tried our best to support it
over the past 7 years rather than just jumping on the bandwagonised works

try xev, look for keycodes/symbols of the keys and edit .xmodmaprc
and/or /etc/X11/Xmodmap (or whatever the equivalent files on your
system). the keysyms can be mapped to events (eg. in the gnome control

i added this to my /etc/X11/Xmodmap:
! windoof keys
keycode 115 = Undo
keycode 117 = Menu
and mapped Undo to gnome's launch "Run Programm" and Menu to pop up
gnome's root-menu.

Hi,
first the symptoms, what I get with dmesg is about this:
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 32155, scsi0, channel 0, id
0, lun 0 Write (10) 00 00 2e b8 7c 00 00 08 00
I know, there've been similar postings to this ng in the recent past,
one of them suggesting to turn of apic in kernel with append="noapic" in
/etc/lilo.conf. I tried this because I've got a i840 chipset and 2 PIIIs
which can sometimes cause that kind of trouble. Unfortunately, this
wasn't much help.
So, has anybody got an idea what other reason might cause such errors? I
suspect this could be the result of a failed fsck-session because this
failure (accompanied by hdd activity and several seconds of
zero-responsitivity [e.g. mouse hangs]) occures especially when
accessing certain files. I assume the hex code behind the message above
is the track address of the bad block...
Please, could somebody enlighten me?

I'm gonna assume your driver names are typos? The driver is

Any chance any of your init files have the wrong spelling in them?

Put the card in different slots maybe. I just installed that D-Link
card and it was set to IRQ 12. I don't use a PS/2 mouse and had it
disabled in the BIOS. The card seemed to work fine in Linux but
with BeOS I'd get lockups as soon as I tried to do any net activity.
Put it in another slot (now IRQ 9) and it works fine.
>From the list above you don't have much left.
Assuming you don't want to share any IRQs try different slots
until the card is reported as using IRQ 10 which is all you have left.

So go download minicom from wherever, presumably the docs don't say

Are you sure that minicom isn't on the CD that your distro came on?

Hello,
I am having trouble getting RH7 installed on my new box. Here is what I have
Soyo K7VTA Motherboard (with VIA chipset)
Duron 700Mhz Processor
128MB PC100 Ram
Samsung 10GB IDE HD
Generic 52X CDROM
The problems:
Multiple disk read/write errors after booting to the new system.
My attempted solutions:
Every partitioning scheme I could think of including sizing the partitions
to 2047MB (in case disk size was a problem) Consequently, the /usr partition
needs to be bigger than that in order for Red Hat to install because their
installation image is placed there and you subsequently cannot install (you
get a 78MB short of the packages you wish to install message) I tried disk
druid and fdisk (the Linux fdisk)
Eventually I started getting bad filesystem errors during initial boot upon
clean install. Then I was of course taken to the prompt to make repairs.
It seems to be acting like there is some sort of incompatability issue in
the bus... I understand the VIA chipset uses some proprietary setups upon
looking up the motherboard on the internet (there are special drivers even
for winblows)
Any ideas? I've seen a lot of posts on the internet about this motherboard
and linux problems but they are mostly related to Soundblaster Live. I am
not installing a sound card on this machine and I dissabled the onboard
sound in the bios.
Help..

I downloaded the entire manual set in PDF form from one of HP's web sites,

If the tape has been loaded more than 99 times, the drive will

If the tape won't stay loaded, errors from mt and tar are normal.

Did you rerun lilo to actually install the line? You are virtually
guaranteed, that aside from bad cables or cable connection (or other
hardware failure), that this is the apic. You can verify noapic by cat
/proc/interrupts, and if cpu0 is the only cpu getting irq counts, noapic
is indeed set. If cpu1 has any irq counts, then you are not running with
noapic.

Subject: scsi abort,timeout at boot problems
Hi, I'm hoping someone that's dealt with this problem might have some new ideas
for me.
I have a linux box with a Quantum Atlas SCSI LVD, Adaptec 19160 LVD, SuperP6DBE
mb, running Redhat 6.2 (2.2.16-3). The whole system is less than 2 months old.
When it's up and running, it seems to go on flawlessly. But if I need to reboot
it, or cold boot it, during the boot sequence it will fail to hook up with the
Quantum and return errors like:
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: (scsi0:0:0:0) Synchronous at 80.0 Mbyte/sec,
offset 31.
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0,
scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 0) timed out - resetting
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 0) timed out -
trying harder
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
Oct 27 17:53:18 ganymede kernel: (scsi0:0:0:0) Synchronous at 80.0 Mbyte/sec,
offset 31.
Which normally keep repeating until I'm forced to hit reset or turn it off to
reset. This is the only time I get these errors, they don't show up while the
system runs at all. In fact, this is the first time I've had logs of them, since
this one recent time it actually did find the HD and get started after a few
minutes. Usually it either does or doesn't. It does this most of the time after
a power off sequence. I found that running the Quantum diagnostics (which show
the drive to be ok) and then rebooting usually cause the drive to be found
again, and avoid any abort or bus reset messages.
I've checked all the connections, reseated the host adapter, have almost the
latest linux driver for this host adapter (aic7 5.1.30), disabled my IDE
controller since I'm not using it, and generally been searching high and low for
an answer to this.
I don't have another host adapter or LVD cable to try, though I do have a
replacement HD that I haven't opened yet. The errors just don't seem to point to
the HD, but rather to the adapter or the driver, but I've never heard of any
other problems like this with even a similar config. If it's possible that it's
the HD then I will replace it, but I wanted that to be a last resort, since
that's the most time-consuming option.
I've included a larger sample of my logs below. Please email me as well as post
if you've got an idea for me, and thanks a lot!

ok. doing a local ftp copy (linux<->linux) would test the ftp daemon speed.
After that you could look at a tcpdump and check the traffic being generated.
I know the ftp client on windows is crude but that should not be a problem.
If you have apache running you could try transferring via http to check as
well.

I found this on Deja awhile back. I haven't tried it yet. it's a response
to someone who had the exact same problem.

I came across this problem myself a while ago. What you need to do is
disconnect the burner, fire up lunux, recompile the kernel to DISable "probe
all luns on scsi bus" in
the scsi setup section, shut down, reconnect the burner and linux should
have no further problems getting your hardware to boot.

Spicerun,
A polite suggestion:
CC this message to Diamond. Don't write a different message to
Diamond. Rather, make it very obvious to them that you're publicizing
this in many forums like NewsGroups.
I would research the email addresses of their technical support, their
corporate officers, etc. Make sure they receive a copy of the message.
By the way, just throw the card over here:-)
Regards,
Valentin
