Hi,

I am afraid the following message did not reach the list during my first
attempt on March 4, so here we go again:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just want to share my experience with the new MI SCSI code on a
5000/200 with a serial console:

I just made a 1.4U with the new pmax MI SCSI code kernel from todays sources.
It booted fine into single user mode.

After this I did some minor activities (mounting/umounting, cat'ing
conf files ...). Suddenly the machine just hang and after some time
(half minute??? one minute???) it displayd the following messages
on console:

sd0(xasc0:0:0): xasc0: timed out [ecb 0xc0016108 (flags 0x103, dleft 2000, stat 
0)], <state 4, nexus 0xc0016108, phase(l 93, c 7, p 7), resid 2000, msg(q 0,o 0)
 >                                                                              
sd0(xasc0:0:0): xasc0: timed out [ecb 0xc0016108 (flags 0x143, dleft 2000, stat 
0)], <state 4, nexus 0xc0016108, phase(l 93, c 7, p 7), resid 2000, msg(q 20,o 0
) > AGAIN


At this point I had to press the reset button.

A second attemppt made the machine hang with a fsck - no messages this time.

This is the story so far.

Andreas

PS. Can I build a kernel which supports both new and old SCSI schemes?
