With Adaptec 19160, 29160, 39160 SCSI controller loading of module is impossible
Support knowledgebase (jsj_29160_interrupt)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.4
Symptom:
You have a SCSI controller of brand Adaptec AHA-19160,
AHA-29160 or AHA-39160 and cannot install your copy of SuSE Linux.
Durning load of the corresponding module aic7xxx it seems the computer
locks up.
On Terminal 4 messages like the following are continually displayed:
scsi 1 host
scsi : aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Test unig re00 00 00 00 00
scsi : aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Test unig re00 00 00 00 00
Cause:
These SCSI controllers require the use of an unique interrupt caused
by the design of the driver. They cannot share interrupts with other
PCI cards.
Solution:
The only possible solution is the reconfiguration of the assignment of
interrupts in the BIOS of your computer. Please have a look in the
manual of your mainbaord.
It may also be possible, that you have to change the PCI slot of your
SCSI controller card.
Usually there is a table displayed during boot, where your can check
the assignment of interrupts to PCI devices. Here you may have a look,
if your configurations succeeded.
