I'm not actually able to catch all the messages, obviously, but
the general gist is something like this:
----------
scsi0 channel 0 : resetting for second half of retries
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
scsi0 : device driver called scsi_done() for a synchronous
reset
[note: this is bad driver behavior since what, 2.1?]
SCSI disk error: host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code =
27070002
[this gets repeated many times.]
----------
The drive works on a different controller, so that's not the
problem (but the other controller is horribly mismatched for the
drive's performance class--it's an ncr53c810!!! :( )
The controller works with a different drive attached, so that's
not the problem (but the other drive is too small to be useful).
I can take the drive, controller, and cable to an x86 box, get
into FASTutil, and do a full sector check on the disk with no
problem--so the hardware is apparently working fine. I've tried
jumpering the controller for manual termination, jumpering the
drive to force single-ended operation, and various combinations,
all to no effect.
(By the way, I flashed the controller to the latest BIOS/firmware
while it was in the x86 box--it didn't help, but I figured it
wouldn't hurt.)
So now it's down to the kernel...any ideas here? At the very
least, I'd like to know what return code "27070002" means...
