1. SCSI timeouts during boot - command to ignore?
I am running RedHat 6.2 with an Adaptec 2940U2W. I recently added a third
harddrive on the SCSI chain and begin getting SCSI timeouts. I replaced the
cables and terminator with Granite Digital and haven't had a SCSI timeout
for 5 days, except with Linux! During the boot, it attempts to get to drive
8 (the new drive and gets a a timeout and goes into an infinite loop waiting
for that drive. These are the same symptoms that I got before replacing the
cables. The same machine has Win3.1 w/PC DOS 7 + Win98 + OS/2 + NT 4.0 +
Win2000 and all of those are running fine (no logged timouts for 5 days,
since I replaced the cables). Linux has no partitions on the third drive
(single NTFS primary partition). If I physically remove that third drive,
Linux boots fine.
The SCSI chain has:
ID 0 - boot disk - 9GB
1 - 18GB
3 - DVD-RAM
4 - CD/ROM
5 - CD R/W
6 - DAT tape
7 - Adaptec self address
8 - 36 GB drive
I would like to set Linux to ignore this drive completely - is there any way
to do this at the boot prompt? Obviously it is a trifle difficult to make
changes to this system as the only way to boot it is to power down, open the
case, pull the SCSI cable, power up and boot and use it. Or might it be
something else wrong?
