Using genkernel 1.18, I can generate kernels for my box that has an Adaptec 2940 UW. Upon rebooting, I see that the 2940 is found (all is well) and then found again. At this point, the second driver is trying to do a reset and then timming out; "Timeout, reset host 1 device 0 pid 22, aborting, retrying and "trying harder". see forum entries http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=84286&highlight=scsi+timeout another similar example (almost) is here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=85397&highlight=trying+harder Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.have an adaptec 2940UW in an A7V333 2.Genkernel with gentoo-sources 3.Config boot loader and reboot Actual Results: Kernel boots, finds card and devices, finds the card a second time, and goes into a SCSI device timeout/reset loop Expected Results: Found the card/devices once Workaround is to build kernel by hand
what kernel version are you using? Could you please post your kernel .config here please?
Created attachment 20934 [details] My kernel config file This is my kernel config for gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r8
I receive the error with genkernel 1.18 against both gentoo-sources (2.4.20r8) and ac-sources. My .config is pretty blah. Adaptec 2940 (*) Promise 20276 (*) Via blah (*) Running alsa and NVidia 4496 drivers. I can reproduce the error on fresh installs though (this is how I origionaly came to the error). Thank you for your time, Frank Russo
since you are doing genkernel now, here you go :)
I had the same problem. That comes that the kernel load aic7xxx and found the card. But then it load aic7xxx_old then found the card another time and can't access it because it's already use by first module. Just have to unflag aic7xxx_old in kernel config.
well, let me know if it still happens with genkernel 3.x this was with genkernel 1.18
