Thanks for the info & James suggestion re: termination.
<p>I think it's the second drive on a 3940 that causes my problem,
1 is OK.
<p>I have currently reverted to a 2940 which works fine, however I would
like my second channel back if the problem can be resolved.

<br>> So is anyone out there using 3940s with recent linux and aic drivers?
<p>Yes.
<p>I have three servers with 3940's, each with one drive connected to each
<br>SCSI controller.
<p>One machine is running kernel 2.2.7, no problems so far.
<p>One machine is running kernel 2.2.10, no problem upgrading to it.
<p>The third machine, upon upgrading to 2.2.10 (in fact, the same exact
<br>kernel image), goes into one of those infinite SCSI reset loops on
boot
<br>(though it eventually hangs with some sort of kernel fault).
It's
<br>identical hardware to the machine that I upgraded with no problems.
I
<br>checked the BIOS and Adaptec BIOS settings, they're identical as well.
<br>Fscking *weird*.
<p>Specifically, does anyone know what information from the infinite reset
<br>loops should be provided to help troubleshoot these sorts of problems?
