I have an intermittent SCSI problem that doesn't seem to have a pattern. I'm using 2.2.8.-RELEASE, adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller, and 2 compaq DGHS18Y 18GB SCSI drives (separate drives...no mirrors or RAID. Second drive is mounted as /usr2). They have a 50-68 pin convertor on both of them. my connector has 3 ends..3rd end is connected to an active terminator. The problem is that the system locks up and stops responding spiratically. The longest it has run is a 7 or 8 weeks, the shortest is a couple of hours. There seems to be no real pattern. What's strange is that it seems to work best when its being used...when its been idle for awhile is when it seems to lock up..Here are some of the messages that appear on the screen. Some of these continuously scroll when its locked up: SCB 0x0 - times out in datain phase, SCSISIGI = 0x44 SEQ ADDR = 0x0 SCSISEG = 0x0 SSTAT0=0x0 SSTAT1=0x0 sd0(ahc:0:0) SCB0x0 - abort message in message buffer and sd0(ahc0:0:0) SCB 2: Yucky Immedate reset Flags=0x1 ahc0: issued channel A Bus Reset. 2 SCBs aborted Sending SDTR!! sd0(ahc0:0:0):UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0 sd0(ahc0:0:0):Power On reset, or bus device reset occured, retries:3 and ahc0:brkadrint; Sequencer Ram Parity Error at seqaddr=0x8 Anyone have a clue as to what might be going on? If it was a cable issue, you'd think that it would either work or it wouldn't..I'm at a loss. This was going to be my main webserver.
