-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Ok I got a differt SCSI card...the only one I could find in a reasonable price range locally was an Adaptec 1520 ...it is suported by the 152x driver I should hope... here is the problem... it coems up..in SCSI Bios and with jumpers I have set: IRQ: 10 (also tried 11, and 9...all of which have the same behaviour) io: 0x340 (also tried 0x140) SCSI ID = 7 BIOS Adress DC000 ..the SCSI bios detects my tape drive (SCSI ID 4) then linux boots (command line aha152x="ioport,irq") then... it BIOS test Passed... other stuff... then "aha152x: trying software interrupt lost" and "aha152x: IRQ (the IRQ I chose and appended in lilo) possibly wrong.." then it says that every ID it tries is timing out
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 6, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 anyway...I did a "cat /proc/intterupts" and got: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sjc]$ cat /proc/interrupts 0: 386167 timer 1: 10542 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 4: 123116 + serial 5: 165 NE2000 8: 2 + rtc 12: 150329 PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 math error 14: 49013 + ide0 15: 0 + ide1 and: (ioports) [EMAIL PROTECTED] sjc]$ cat /proc/ioports 0000-001f : dma1 0020-003f : pic1 0040-005f : timer 0060-006f : keyboard 0070-007f : rtc 0080-008f : dma page reg 00a0-00bf : pic2 00c0-00df : dma2 00f0-00ff : npu 0140-015f : aha152x 0170-0177 : ide1 01f0-01f7 : ide0 0300-031f : NE2000 0376-0376 : ide1 0378-037f : lp 03c0-03df : vga+ 03f0-03f5 : floppy 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f7-03f7 : floppy DIR 03f8-03ff : serial(set) What could possibly be wrong? I have tried every feasable setting... and the SCSI BIOS detects the tape drive (and I have SCSI Tape Drive suport compiled in kernel) ..I posted earlier... someone suggested verifing the interupts and trying the other ioport...I have...im even using a new adapter I have never tried to setup SCSI before (on aPC...SCSI setup was a no brainer on my Apple II GS way back when (shamefully I admit way back when was 3 years ago) this is starting to get frustrating...what could it be? I NEED backup capability I read the SCSI HOWTO...still no help same for the kernel SCSI readmes - -Steve -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBNUlbN3xvn0zebBV9AQG4NAQAlRwutYUWO0wEztFbgON5SOyZdiWHScmf lDZJFhUXauAbGa7IPlVLJj1MhIqgUKmtZGlrJv/s6Mn1my5ujDZwPMmHUOrTL88A WvZ2Zx95UT/SWRjQ2vAOXqO+O0PvWrK8MtuNMIIaU660qeZdCbvhXGGONiU26zOZ D8+twWmJnD4= =RTwA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
