Adaptec 7890 with Western Digital:
Model: WDIGTL Model: WDE18310 ULTRA2 Rev: 1.30
It works with 2 other drive types, but not the WD.
It *DID* work in 5.1.20 (still does if I put the old driver in the
new kernel). Note that it broke with 5.1.21 when alot of changes
were made for 7890's.
This affects *two* different systems, each with a 7890 and each with
a WD as a 2nd or third drive. So it is not just 1 bad drive or 1 bad
controller. System is a Dell 410 that has the 7890 on the motherboard
with a Dell bios.
Symptom: Continual SCSI timeouts and resets when trying to mkfs
the drive (1 big
partition). System effectively hangs -- entire SCSI bus is
locked up even for the drives that work. Basically, I do
a 'umount -a' in single user before running this "test".
