Hi Eze,
I've had similar problems with SCSI under Linux,, esp copying
large files.
Linux seems to exercise the PC components more than other OS's,
apart from perhaps OS2.
What I did to fix it was the following. I adjusted my scsi card
parameters to drop the scsi bus speed right down to the lowest
setting. Once I verified it worked, I then worked upwards to find
the fastest but reliable speed. I've done this on Adaptec and WD
cards.
The problem didn't show up on cdrom installation, but only on
disk-disk copies.
I don't know your scsi cards, but if they have any brains at all,
they'll invite you to press some keys at bootup. Once in I'm sure
you'll find the right parameters. If they are really stupid there
might be some jumper settings.
Kind regards,
Tony Wells
