Re: [SLUG] Redhat 6.1 Install Hassles with SCSI

[Sean Jackson]

Hi,   Some more info..... I d\l the RH6.2 boot.img and it detects the hosts and drives fine. It uses version 5.1.28 of the aic7xxx drive whereas RH6.1 uses 5.1.20. So how/where do I get the newer version and make a bootdisk that has the new aic7xxx module on it?. Also after the install of RH6.1 I assume it will revert back to version 5.1.20 as that is what is on the CD so I need to make a kernel with the 5.1.28 version somehow.   PS I need RH6.1 as some software I need to run only has RH6.1 support.   Thanks for the help!

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
