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'.
(Thanks to Mr. B. Sechser and Mr. R. Kollruss)
