Hello,
I have an SS10 SM51 box that I've been trying to install Linux
on. Whenever the SCSI bus is accessed, I get a message "esp0: STEP_ASEL
for tgt #", where # is whatever the number of the device is. At the moment
it has two disks, one an original Sun 1 GB, and a quantum 2.1 GB, but the
errors happen consistently with only the first disk in as well. It's
jumpered for parity, no termination.
The machine is pretty basic, with the only optional hardware being a CG6
card. I can install Linux over the net, boot the machine, and log in, but
it's useless due to the horde of esp0 messages that come blowing across the
screen too quickly to type commands around.
The messages occur with any of the RedHat install disks from version 5.2 to
6.2.
So, the obligatory questions are:
(1) What does that message actually mean?
(2) What's causing it (probably),
(3) How do I make it go away?
Thanks for your time.
