the aic7xxx image in your directory did not work for my 3940W
The errors start right after:
aic7xxx: Download sequencer code...done.
Here are errors:
aic7xxx: (aic7xxx_isr) Encoutered spurious interrupt.
SCSI1: SCSI - Someone reset channel A.
aic7xxx: (reset_device) target/channel -1/A, active_scb 0
aic7xxx: (match_scb) comparring target/channel -1/A to scb 0/A
aic7xxx: (match_scb) comparring target/channel -1/A to scb 0/A
aic7xxx: (reset_channel) Resetting current channel A
aic7xxx: (reset_channel) Channel reset, sequencer restarted
Then it locks. Hard reboot required. If you pass this on the kernel
development persons, let them know that I have compiled 2.0.18 and 2.0.23
myself and both produce exactly this error (which is what I suspect you
did michaeljohnson). The last kernel before 2.0.18 which I have tried is
2.0.12 and it works. So for my particular Adaptec 3940W with in
particular machine something went wrong between .12 and .18.
For anyone else with this problem, I have created a boot disk in
ftp.redhat.com/pub/incoming/kernels called
3940W.img which uses kernel 2.0.0 instead of later ones. It works like a
champ for me and should help others with this problem.
Auf Viedersehen,
