SCSI woe
Hello,
While attempting to install Debian (have tried 2.2.17 & .19) I have
been getting many SCSI errors at various stages in the install
process as well as on restart (the time I was lucky enough to get
that far).
I have a Quantum Fireball TM2100s Rev 300Z which I am attempting to
dual boot with BootX ( later I want to ditch MacOS )
I have tried the drive on both Id 0 and 1, as well as on the Mesh and
the 53C94 controllers. I have checked the drive for bad sectors and
have made sure that the partitioning utility knows the real size of
my disk.
When attempting to install kernel, or base, (while in the rescue
floppy or booting from the BootX image) I receive nasty stuff like:
SCSI disk error: host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 8000000
scsidisk I/O error; dev 08, 07 lun sector 262168
read_inode_bitmap : Cannot read inode bitmap
ext2_check_inodes_bitmap: Wrong free inodes count in super block,
stored = 217717, counted = 202165
I have tried many different partition schemes; some even got me as
far as starting emacs, but at every startup fsck would find more
problems and files would just disappear to lost_and_found....
thanks for any ideas about this...
