A4K scsi.device 43.43 Hangs
« on: January 26, 2007, 01:19:14 AM »
Hi!.

I try to install a second new ide 80GB Seagate hd in my A4000.:roll:

I own a UWSCSI HD attached in my CSPPC with SFS 1265 working OK.

This happends: :-?

HDtoolbox, create partition ( i try >4Gb and <4GB with the same result)
Install SFS in RDB, save changes and reboot.

The led of the IDE HD is hold on and the computer freezes.
Switch OFF, when i boot again i can see after setpatch reset the computer freezes again the led is hold ON. :madashell:

I need to switch OFF again and hold two mouse buttons, edit the startup-sequence to skip the scsi.device update for get the system working again.

I try with the old rom update of plain OS3.9 scsi.device version 43.35 and i can create disk partitions and appear to be OK.:crazy:

Any suggestions, is the scsi.43.43 buggy??

Another cuestion, is possible to get working >4GB partitions with the original 40.12 scsi.device and SFS in direct scsi mode.
The SFS docs says it detect an old device no NSD or TD64 compatible and switch to SCSIDIRECT mode i not understand this work.

Any help are very appreciated.

Ciaa

Have you turned the IDE cable the wrong way around maybe on the motherboard?
If not try a another IDE cable

I had an identical problem a month ago.
In my A4000T, I currently have a 80Gb Quantum IDE drive which has been OK, but sometimes makes really dodgy sounding "grinding" noises at times.
It's been doing it for ages, though I eventually decided to do something about it.
So I bought a new replacement Hitachi (IBM) 80Gb drive and found exactly what you have with scsi.device 43.43.
If I use the original OS3.9 scsi.device, it works without any problems.

The current solution was to copy all my data to the new Hitachi drive and keep it as a working backup.  The original Quantum drive is still in use.  It runs 24/7.

I'm sure there's some kind of compatibility issue with scsi.device 43.43 and certain IDE drives.

The easiest short term workaround is to go back to using OS3.9 without BB2 (not sure if scsi.device from BB1 has the problem), or to try another IDE drive from a different manufacturer.  Quantum seem OK, but as we now know, Seagate, Hitachi/IBM drives seem to have a problem.

Any other suggestions welcome.

Heey many thanks for your help. ;-)

At the moment i use the old 43.35 device in conjuntion of the rest of patches in the BB2.

I charge the combination in my eFLASH, and all test are OK.
I was made several partitions >4GB and no problem at all.

This appear to be an conflict between V43.43 scsi device and this model of HD.

Ciaaa.
