Hi there!
I have a problem with my Adaptec 1542b SCSI hostadapter and Fujitsu
M2614SA SCSI HD.
When Linux is writing to the HD quite a lot (e.g. during installation),
the controller gets "hung" (indicated by the red LED shining brightly)
and nothing but hitting the reset-button will bring my computer back to
life.
Exactly the same things happened with 386BSD (also at installation)!
That's why I think the problem is not specific to Linux but a general
hardware problem.
I've a 386DX-40 Mainboard, AMI BIOS (dated 1990), 64KB Cache, 8MB ram,
eteq chipset.
I left the factory settings on the Adaptec (and experimented with other
settings, too).
Many thanks in advance!
So long,
Joerg (please reply via email)
