[SLUG] Redhat 6.1 Install Hassles with SCSI

[Sean Jackson]

Hi,   Here is the problem: When installing RedHat 6.1 during the boot it detects the SCSI hosts and attempts to load the aic7xxx module. It detects the two SCSI hosts and try's to send the SCSI(1), the UW host a command but times out. The error message is something like   timed out sending command PID = 15 resetting bus - trying harder.   It loops like this and won't go any further. I have tried changing the SCSI bios options, getting the latest 6.1 boot.img, unplugging the tape unit, unplugging all but 1 drive, running a expert install and sending the aic7xxx=extended and no_reset commands but it still hangs   Here are the specs: Intel 440GX+ Motherboard, Dual PIII 650, onboard Adaptec 7896 Ultra2 and Ultra Wide controller with 2 9G Seagate (UW) drives and a Seagate SCSI Dat drive, IDE cdrom and floppy.   Anyideas why I get this timeout?   Regards, Sean Jackson
