Problems with aic7880 (AGAIN)

[Andreadakis Manolis]

Hello again, the problem with my aic7880 continues to torture me...
Here is the output of my boot sequence:

Both disks are wide and on the same cable and there is a termitator at
the end of it.
I cannot mkefs the second disk, when i try it, somewhere in the middle
of the
whole process i get messages about timeout's and bus resets.

Could anyone tell me about the correct jumper positions on the disks,
this is the one think
i suspect, the other is the message above that the BIOS is disabled. Is
this
normal, considering that in the SCSI utility at boot, the BIOS Enable
option is set to on?

I have checked the cable so that it doesnt make any twists, and the two
disks, as far as
i could figure out dont terminate them selves the bus.

Thanks in advance.
