RE: ah1542 scsi CD probs, deb potato



Is this the only scsi device attached to the controller ?
I remember similar problems when there was a termination problem or a
conflict between the assigned scsi id's. Check this first. The 1542 does
require you to set the ID on the device and to properly terminate it. Also
make sure your cable works fine and that the end of the cable is attached to
a device thus not hanging around unattached. Scsi cables are sensitive to
this.

let me know if it helped you out,

joris

Hello,

I've swapped a scsi cd I had (working fine, btw) in an old machine to a 
newer one.

Trouble is, when booting from the deb potato rescue floppy I get the 
following:

scsi0: Adapatec 1542
scsi: 1 host
aha1542.c: Unable to abort command for target 0
aha1542.c: Trying device reset for target 0
aha1542_out failed(2): aha1542.c: Unable to abort command for target 0
sent BUS RESET to scsi host 0
.
.
(this then repeats)
.
.
Vendor:              Model:           Rev:
Type:   Direct-Access                 ANSI SCSI revision: 00
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

This cycle repeats through the other 6 possible ids, and at the end says:
scsi: detected 7 SCSI disks total

Then the whole thing repeats again...

aarrgghh!

I had this working before in the other machine - WTF can the problem be?

Thanks for reading this far if you have!

Martin
