I'm having problems getting Linux 1.3.8 + AHA-2940 driver to get past
the "Resetting the SCSI bus..." point. I wrote a message before but
thought I should supply more information.
* The system runs perfectly under FreeBSD 2.0.5 (it's on the SCSI disk)
* ASUS PVI486-AP4 motherboard, one SCSI disk and one CD-ROM drive
* AHA SCSI BIOS is set to default values. Also tried it with
the DOS large disk fake-out thing disabled.
Should I try an earlier kernel version? BIOS fiddling?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
-Archie
