Date: Fri, 29 May 1998 02:49:06 -0400 From: Chris Meadors <cmeadors@acc7.ac.cc.md.us> To: linux-scsi@vger.rutgers.edu On the "SCSI Timeout on AIC7xxx when PPA is active." thread David Campbell made a comment about possible conflicts between different drivers. I was wondering if there were any known conflicts between the PAS-16 and the AHA-152x drivers? I have never been able to access my CD-ROM drive under Linux during the 2 years I have been running it. I have posted questions every so often to different places and tried all the suggestions but nothing has ever worked (though I think the 1.2.x series would hang when probing the CD-ROM drive so I would always boot with it powered off). My machine boots fine with both drivers compiled in the kernel. The controllers and drives are all detected and identified properly. I can even attempt to mount an empty CD-ROM drive and get the proper errors (I think), same when I try to mount an audio CD, slightly different errors, but the machine keeps running. Only when I attempt to mount an ISO9660 disc does my machine hang. It spits a bunch of errors (avaible upon request) to the screen and hangs for about 5 minutes, then after the five minute wait I get more of pretty much the same errors and the machine stays hung and does nothing else after that (can still switch VCs and Shift-PgUp/Dn, but not go to the XWindows display). Vital Statistics: Machine: 486DX2/66, 32MB RAM, S3 911a video card, nothing else fancy, just AT keyboard, modem, serial mouse, and 2 parallel ports, oh and a GUS ACE sound card, but that was added after I already knew I had problems. Kernel: 2.0.33, AHA-152x, PAS-16, and standard IDE (none of the buggy IDE chipset work arounds installed) drivers compiled in. scsi0 is the aha-152x connected to it are two hard drives, an HP C2234-300, and a Maxtor LXT-213S scsi1 is the pas-16 connected to it is the CD-ROM drive which is an NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:210 Only my /home and /usr/src are on the SCSI drives, / and /usr and the swap partition are on my IDE drive, so my machine is bootable and usable with out the aha-152x driver. Oh the usual, works fine under DOS and 95, but...it my machine would hang for about 5 minutes when booting NT right when it would access the CD-ROM drive. After the access light when out, NT would continue loading. Booting NT with the drive off (it is external with it's own power supply and connector to the PAS-16 (which is why I don't just hang it off the aha-152x)) wouldn't hang. I'm willing to try anything, please help, Chris -- Two penguins were walking on an iceberg. The first penguin said to the second, "you look like you are wearing a tuxedo". The second penguin said, "I might be". - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
