Can anyone diagnose my error messages when trying to connect to an ISP?

by Steve Hick » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00

I am using a Pace Solo modem on Red Hat 6 and the kppp tool (following
instructions on the BT WEB page).

Log from kppp:
-------------
Aug 23 20:47:49 localhost pppd[701]: pppd 2.3.7 started by root, uid 0
Aug 23 20:47:49 localhost pppd[701]: Using interface ppp0
Aug 23 20:47:49 localhost pppd[701]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Aug 23 20:48:19 localhost pppd[701]: Terminating on signal 15.
Aug 23 20:48:25 localhost pppd[701]: Connection terminated.
Aug 23 20:48:25 localhost pppd[701]: Connect time 0.6 minutes.
Aug 23 20:48:25 localhost pppd[701]: Exit.

1. Help diagnosing SCSI error message, anyone?

I get the following error message right before the Linux 1.3.52 machine
in question, with two Adaptec 2940 controllers and several 4 GB Quantum
disks, basically locks up. It's ping-able -- still on the network -- but
won't handle any services, presumably because they require disk access.

scsi disk error : host 0 channel 0 id1 lun 0
return code=28000002
extra data not valid current error sd 08:03
sense jet bit readt
additional sense indicates logical unit not ready, cause
not reportable
scsi disk I/O error : dev 08:03, sector 3272

Besides cabling/termination issues and possibly a motherboard issue, is
there anything else in particular I ought to be looking for? I've never
encountered this message before, and there's nothing else in the logs
which screams "problem" to me. It's locked up with no significant disk
I/O... as far as I can tell, it was just sitting there one of the times
that it locked up. The disk in question doesn't appear to fsck in any
unreasonable fashion when it reboots. If it's a motherboard issue, does
anyone have pointers on what I should specifically look for?
