Very Computer

Hi,

I've read through the FAQ, and saw nothing pertaining directly to my problem.

During the Install protion of LILO, upon writing the partition information
to the disk, I receive a loud constant beep from my mother board, and a Linux
error report that looks like this:

aha152x_panic: unable to send message
QUEUE STATUS
issue_SC:
current_SC:
0x00368769: target=0; lun=0; cmd= ( 0a 00 00 00 02 00 ); residual=1024; buffers=0; phase |; in other ( MESSAGE OUT ); next=0x00000000
disconnected_SC:

on bus: SCSISEQ ( SELI ); SCSISIG ( MESSAGE OUT ); INTSTAT ( hi ); SSTAT ( SELDO PHASEMIS REQINIT ); SSTAT ( PHASEMIS REQINIT ); SXFRCTL0 ( CH1 ); SINGAL ( ATNI BSYI REQI ); SELID ( 81 ), SSTAT2 ( SEMPTY ); SFCNT ( 0 ); FCNT ( 0 ); DMACNTRL0 ( 16BIT PIO READ );
enabled interrupts ( ENPHASEMIS ENREQINIT )
Kernel panic: aha152x panic

I'm in the early learning stages of unix, and I'm brand new at SCSI, so if I'm
making a simple/stupid mistake hear, I apologize.  I've got a SIDE VLB
controller card, which is "completely compatible" with Adaptec AHA1522 cards.
I'm using a 486 DX2 66 platform with ISA/VLB board.  I've tried reassigning
the Quantum Empire 1.08 GB drive from SCSI ID 6 to ID 0, but get the identical
message.  I hope someone out there can help me out with this.

Either e-mail or post responses are OK with me.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

PS.  The above error hangs the system, requiring a reboot.

Say no more.  I just went through a few days of this myself (and several
different Linux distributions).  After a few helpful suggestions from
the Tech Support folk at Morse Telecomm (check SCSI termination, cable,
LUN something other than 0, 1 and 7), I stumbled onto the following:

        linux aha152x=0x340,11,7,0

which is entered at the lilo boot: prompt.  If when you hit the tab key,
it indicates something different (such as "ramdisk") use that, but use
the aha152x string as shown.

Yes, the last digit is ZERO (0), which tells the AHA152x  that command
"reconnect" is disabled.  All of the documentation I have gone over
seems to indicate that the reconnect bit should be set.  My system will
boot that way, but I can not mount the cdrom drive (/dev/sr0), unless
command reconnect is disabled.

Hope that this helps somewhat.
