For the past couple of Months I've been having system lockups every 10 days or so. I suspect that it is a problem with the Adaptec 39160 SCSI controller that is on my system (aic799). The lockups always occur when I'm backing up to my HP DAT40 that is connected to channel A of this SCSI controller. The strange thing is that I backup every night most of the time without problems to this tape. Here is some info on my system: Kernel: 2.4.6pre3 ( I've been getting the same problem since 2.4.2 ) Here is all the SCSI controller info (the first two are on the motherboard): scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.1.13 aic7890/91: Ultra2 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.1.13 aic7880: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs scsi2 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.1.13 aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs scsi3 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.1.13 aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs This is a PowerEdge 2400 Dual 866Mhz PentiumIII: Motherboard: ServerWorks Entry ServerSet III LE64 Chipset HardDrives: Four 36Gig Ultra160 connected to scsi0 (aic7890/91) TapeDrive: HP DAT40 connected to scsi2 I've checked the termination on the 39160 and everything seems fine. Would anyone have any pointers?
