Hello,
I have a Micron XKE laptop with a port replicator that has a SCSI
port with an AIC 7860 controller. I have a 6 GB Quantum Fireball
attached as the only SCSI device and it works under Windows95 so
I'm fairly certain the cables and terminator are all right.
Under Linux though I can't get it to be detected. I've installed
RedHat 5.0 and compiled in support for SCSI disks and the aic7xxx
controllers. At first I was getting this when I booted:
aic7xxx: <Adaptec AIC-7860 Ultra SCSI host adapter> at PCI 7
aic7xxx: BIOS disabled, IO Port 0xe800, IO Mem 0xfe9fe000, IRQ 255
aic7xxx: Unsupported type 0xff, please mail deang@teleport.com
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
I then upgraded to the latest aic7xxx driver, 5.0.10, and compiled
a new kernel. According to the documentation this chipset should
be supported. It still doesn't work, although the message during
the boot process has changed to
aic7xxx: Unsupported adapter type 10, ignoring.
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
I've tried adding different combinations of options to my lilo.conf,
but this, I think not surprisingly, doesn't change anything.
Does anyone know of some sort of patch or whatever that I can use
to detect the AIC-7860 ?
thanks!
