Subject:   Adaptec 2930CU / AIC7859 failure
Message-ID:  <00d601bf853e$58c2ef20$3517390a@localdomain>

Hello all,

I've had no success getting a recent vintage North American market Adaptec
2930CU to work.  I've CVSuped and tried both the v.3 stable and 4 current
source trees.  Nothing works.  Just times out on probe (dmesg below).  The
card works fine with Redhat Linux 6.1 and Windows 98.  Its not a cabling or
term. problem as the other OSes work and the errors remain identical whether
there is an external cable and/or device attached or not.  There is no
internal device.  I've tried manual term. as well.

I called Adaptec to confirm the controller chip; they say AIC7859 BT.  Read
the sources, seems to jibe OK, as in AIC7859.  Note, on probe Linux loads
the AIC7860 not 7859.  I tried substituting the 7850, 7855,7860 and 7870 by
modifiying the features line in the setup routine for 2930CU in aic7xxx.h.
Recompile,  test. etc. etc.  No success.  Also tried all reasonable
permutations on Adaptec SCSI setup (ctrl-a) just for "fun".  No success.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike
