Part of the Adaptec 2940UW devices are not found

Symptom:

Some devices at an Adaptec AHA2940W/UW are not detected. While booting you get a message like: ... SCSI: aborting command due to timeout: pid X scsi0, channel 0, id X, lun 0, 0x00 00 00 00 00 aic7xxx: (abort_reset) scb state 0x01, Data-Out phase, SCSISIGI = 0x0 The message is repeated, until one resets the computer.

Cause:

A SCSI-I/II device is connected to a wide controller. Without it, this is correspondingly informed to the BIOS.

Solution:

In your AHA2940/UW BIOS you can set as an option, that no wide devices can be detected. This takes place by means of SCSISelect at option Additional Options by setting the corresponding SCSI device's option Initiate Wide Negotiation to 'no'.
