Hi all,
what does the following message mean (during scsi init at boot)?
scsi0: Unexpected busfree while idle
SEQADDR == 0x1
It appears each second or so, and the system can't move on. It only happens if
a specific drive is on the scsi bus.
Does it mean that drive is broken?
The scsi bios (during system bootup, before linux) detects all discs properly
(including this one), and in the scsi bios i can "veryfiy media" and it
doesn't complain.
Thanks in advance,
Florian

Not necessarily. It might just fail to meet the timing specification the
controller is demanding.
A similar effect occured with my scanner attached to a adaptec
controller. BTW, which brand is your controller?

You might want to try whether the following is working - within the
computers BIOS setup disable both external and internal caching
temporarily. This makes the system extremely sloooooooooooow - but it
made my scanner working. (That's no solution, of course! -- Just a
way to trace the problem.)

Hope it works,
