RE: scsi error.

Alex,

There is a linux-scsi list that would be more appropriate for your question.
You apparently have a Data Parity Error on your SCSI bus.  Probably your
external SCSI drive has a cable or terminator problem.  You can confirm this
by disconnecting the external SCSI cable to see if the other drives come up
ok.  
You may be missing some termination, either via an external terminator or by
turning on the drive's TERMPWR jumper on the external drive (depending on
the type of disk cabinet you have).  Or, the external SCSI cable may be
faulty (usually bent pins).

Subject: scsi error.

While booting my system I got the following error while my
IDE drive was being fsck'd:

Sep 22 17:48:52 test kernel: scsi0: PCI error Interrupt at seqaddr = 0x8
Sep 22 17:48:52 test kernel: scsi0: Data Parity Error Detected during
address or write data phase

None of my SCSI drives had been mounted.

I'm running 2.4.19ac4. My hardware: Adaptec 29160 with 3 Maxtor Atlas III
drives
(2 internal and one external). 

The error did not repeat, and I seem to be able to access my SCSI drives
with no problem.
Is this error anything to worry about?
