SCSI error
Hi there,
I'm getting this error when booting a system (woody):
Jan 16 10:13:39 www2 kernel: *** Possibly defective BIOS detected (irqtable)
Jan 16 10:13:39 www2 kernel: *** Many BIOSes matching this signature have incorrect IRQ routing tables.
Jan 16 10:13:39 www2 kernel: *** If you see IRQ problems, in paticular SCSI resets and hangs at boot
Jan 16 10:13:39 www2 kernel: *** contact your hardware vendor and ask about updates.
Jan 16 10:13:39 www2 kernel: *** Building an SMP kernel may evade the bug some of the time.
The system is booting ok and runs ok some time (since 1 minute until 1 or 2 days) and after that the system hangs with messages like:
Jan 16 20:21:19 www2 kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Command not found
Jan 16 20:21:19 www2 kernel: aic7xxx_abort returns 0x2002
Jan 16 20:21:19 www2 kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message
