aic Driver problems

[Steven N. Hirsch]

Doug and Dan,

I tried Doug's latest (Sep. 5) patches, and it does this:

scsi0:  Scanning Chan. B for devices

scsi0:  Aborting command due to timeout:

pid10, scsi0, chan. 1, id 0, lun 0 0
x00 00 00 00 00 00

.
.
.

(ad-infinitum)

Next, I reverted back to the 2.0.31-pre9 driver (with the one-line fix
that Dan suggested).  The one-liner seems to have eliminated the kernel
protection fault, but after scanning (successfully!) Chan. A of the
controller, it cycles endlessly through the exact message above, with the
addition of some debugging information:

scsi0:0:1 Aborting SCB0, flags 0x401

Abort reset flags 0x401

while idle, 	LASTPHASE=0x1
		SCSISIGI=0xfa
		SEQADR=0x5
		SSTAT0=0x5
		SSTAT1=0x0

(scsi0:-1:1) Reset device active_scb 0 
	(targ -1/B) matching to (targ 0/B)

Resetting Ch. B
seq restart

(loop back to first "Scanning.." message above & repeat forever)

This was hastily transcibed by hand from the screen, so the formatting and
exact wording may be a bit off.  I'm fairly confident that the identifiers
and numbers are correct, though.

What to do next?
