Hi.
Funny, this sounds _very_ similar to the fault I sent to the list this 
morning. The offending device for me seems to be an IBM DCAS hard 
drive. Your problem sounds like it might be associated with an IBM hard 
drive too. 

Is this co-incidence, configuration or conflageration?

Hi Guys,

Hope you can help, 
I have been getting errors as follows

scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 917220, scsi0, channel 0, 
id 4, lun 0 Write (6) 00 00 02 00 00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

scsi0 : AM53C974_abort called -- trouble starts!!
AM53C974 register dump:
IO base: 0x6400; CTCREG: 0x0000; CMDREG: 0x44; STATREG: 0x10; ISREG: 
0xc4
CFIREG: 0x80; CNTLREG1-4: 0x57; 0x40; 0x18; 0x44

---------------------------------------------------------
scsi0: aborting disconnected command

Now this happens whenever I do anything that is at all intensive on any 
of
the devices on the bus. There are 3 scsi disk drives 1 tape drive and 
one
CD drive.

I have had this error when I do a tar from any of the disks to the tape
drive, always reports scis0. or when I was trying to format the new IBM
4.3 drive that I got.

I have noticed something maybe, in that if I only have one disk drive
mounted, it takes a long time for it to error, and then that shows 
itself
up as the tar has stopped. :-(. If I mount the other two scsi drives 
into
the directory free, is happens within a few minutes.

The system is a 166MMX Cyrix with 128MB Ram, running 2.0.33. RedHat4.2

Any more info, just ask. It's not on this machine, so will have to copy
files if needed...
