SCSI issues, help please
Just popping in

Hi there,
now with OS4 final working, i am now trying to get the SCSI to work.
I have read through the docs on the OS4 install.
U-boot sees the SCSI card and the HD.
How do i get workbench to see the drive?

If i recall correctly, i use to mount cybpcc.device or scsi.device and it would show the drive.

Please, any help to move me in the right direction.

Regards
Haslenuts

Hi 'nuts,

I take it this is on the A1?

You don't need any "xxx.device", what you need is a supported SCSI card (one with the lsi53c8xx chipset).

Then you need the device driver "lsi53c8xx.device.kmod" in Kickstart and in the kicklayout file. Nothing more.

It should just appear when you boot the machine. If not, try "info devices" and see what it says.

You might like to make sure that the partitions on the SCSI drive don't have the same names as any of your IDE drives.

Hi Tony,
thanks for the info, all drives all present in kickstart and kickfile as part of the normal install.

I will continue with SCSI after i have fixed my network problem.

Hi Tony,

i am trying the SCSI card again.
U-boot sees the drives connected, but i can't see the drives on workbench or in media toolbox.

Do i have to mount the SCSI drives in mounter ?

Info devices doesn't show anything different.

Does the device name "lsi53c8xx.device.kmod" appear in the initial list of MediaToolbox ?

Hi all,

The SCSI card is made by Asus and has the LSI chip on it.

pcicsan in uboot reports the correct vendor and production ID.

No, lsi53c8xx.device.kmod does not appear in the initial list of medaitoolbox.

I have red the docs on the lsi53c8xx.device and it says that there is nothing to do. the drives should just appear on workbench.

All the kmods as per the docs are in place (standard install).

Should i add the lsi53c8xx.device to mediatoolbox or mounter ?

Can you please take the list of running tasks (using top or scout or anything alike) and paste it here ?

Also, please tell me your board's PCI vendor and product IDs.

No, if the lsi53c8xx.device is working, it would appear by itself in the list.
Since it doesn't, it's a clear indication that something is wrong, namely the device driver doesn't start up.

Could you post here the result of "pciscan" ? Your board seems not to be recognized by the SCSI driver. Maybe it's just a matter of tweaking some UBoot env-variables.
Sg2 should know better.

I will do the pciscan when i get home from work tonight.

i already have increased the SCSI spinup time, as some of my drives are a bit slow.



Thankyou for your help.

I have mixed setup with sil 0680 and 3114. I was unable to see my 3114 drives in media toolbox until i add tooltype device=sii3114ide.device. This made trick and when i started mtb, list of devices was complete and 3114 drives was accessible. this seems to be bug in mtb (?) in 4.0final. Without i got 0680 only, with tooltype even floppy.device appear to list ...

try add tooltype adevice=lsi53c8xx.device and check what happens.

hope this helps some

The HD drivers all announce themselves on startup. If you had a serial terminal, you could look for the "lsi53..." greeting message when the system boots (they're all very friendly). You would have to set the kernel command line to include the word "serial".

Also there is the documentation file "Documentation/lsi53c8xx_dev/lsi53c8xx_dev.doc" on the Install CD (in case you missed it).

i also looked at devices and resident from scout.
The lsi53c8xx can only be found in resident.

Or simply use "C:DumpDebugBuffer >RAM:bootlog" instead after booting from an IDE HD or CD drive and check it, a serial terminal is only required if you can't boot at all.

Hi,

From your captures, the device is loaded (found in residents) but not running (no device task).

This can only mean that it found nothing during the SCSI scan.

Please paste here the bootlog, capturing it the way joerg suggests.

it seems like either the settings are wrong on my scsi drives.

also, i get the status: check condition from uboot, but only on a cold start. i do a scsi reset in uboot and it finds all the drives, then i boot OS4 and still get the same bootlog as above.

I hope this helps

This one is really from left field but years ago using SCSI on Amiga (and other platforms) termination was a real issue. Only a thought.

I think i can remember some termination issues from way back, but i have never had this much problem with SCSI before.

Uboot sees the two drives fine, it reports their brand, size and everything about them.

Hopefully it can be resloved soon.

These are the drives off my old A4000 in which i had a cyberstorm which wasn't repairable.
