[NTLUG:Discuss] SCSI Problems and 2.6.5 kernel

[Ed Coates]

Hi All,

I've got a slight problem that I'm hoping that someone could help with.  I've
got a P4 2GHz machine with 512MB of RAM, and a DLT4000 tape drive hooked to an
Adaptec 2940 SCSI card.  It's running SuSE 9.1 Pro with the latest default
2.6.5 kernel in it.  It doesn't matter if I try and backup to tape from the
Arkeia application or using tar from the command line.  It will begin to write
for a bit, but then it will stop and hang for a bit, and then it will
eventually take the card offline.  I've copied from the log below to see if
anyone has had this problem before and to find out if there's a fix.

Anyone have any ideas?
