Alles,
I imagine that this is a fairly common query, but my researches have turned
up nothing.
Today, I removed an Adaptec 2940 from my Linux box and replaced it with a
BT958. This, primarily, was because the Adaptec was screwing any attempts
at CD writing.
Now, any prolonged hard-disc accesses are repeatedly and time-consumingly
interrupted with:
scsi: aborting command due to timeout : pid xx, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun
0 Read (10) 00 00 2a b4 ee 00 00 10 00 (or some such)
scsi0: Aborting CCB#107 to Target 0
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 95) timed out - resetting
SCSI bus is now being reset for host 0 channel 0.
scsi0: Tagged Queueing now disabled for Target 0
scsi0: Sending Bus Device Reset CCB #108 to Target 0
SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 95) timed out - trying harder
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
scsi0: Resetting BusLogic BT-958 due to Target 0
scsi0: *** BusLogic BT-958 Initialised Successfully ***
Obviously with varying PIDs and CCBs. And this happens LOADS - even during
fscking, which is unnerving to say the least!
My system:
Kernel: 20.0.32. Pentium 200. SpeedEasy motherboard. 256Mb.
2 x Quantum Fireball ST4.3S hdds
Matshita CD-506 cdrom
Yamaha CDR100 cd-writer
I'm running Buslogic driver 2.0.10 (11/8/97).
Buslogic SCSI firmware is v5.07B.
My hard discs both detect at Syncronous 20.0 Mtransfers/sec (offset 15)
Both CD drives come up as Asyncronous.
Can anybody suggest 1) what's wrong and 2) how to put it right?!
Thanks VERY much...
Richard Stagg
