I am trying to install the latest stable version of Debian on a machine with an Adaptec AHA-2842VL SCSI adapter. The system has a SCSI hard disk, CD-ROM and Exabyte tape drive. I have tried the rescue disks with the 2.0.29 and 2.0.30 versions of the kernel. The machine hangs while booting from the resue disk.
At the boot prompt I enter "linux aic7xxx=no_reset". The error messages follow: scsi0: Scanning channel A for devices. scsi: aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 aic7xxx: (abort) Aborting scb 0, TCL 0/0/0 (many lines deleted) aic7xxx: (done_aborted_scbs) Aborting scb 0, TCL=0/0/0 scsi0: BRKADRINT error (0x1): Illegal Host Access Kernel panic: scsi0: BRKADRINT, error 0x1, seqaddr 0x0 In swapper task - not syncing Does anyone have any ideas for installing Debian on this machine?
