-Use the following options to disable options in the SCSI driver.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Using amiboot for example.....
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To disable Synchronous Negotiation....
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- amiboot -k kernel 53c7xx=nosync:0
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To disable Disconnection....
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- amiboot -k kernel 53c7xx=nodisconnect:0
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To disable certain SCSI devices...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- amiboot -k kernel 53c7xx=validids:0x3F
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- this allows only device ID's 0,1,2,3,4 and 5 for linux to handle.

|
- (this is a bitmasked field - i.e. each bit represents a SCSI ID)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-These commands work on a per controller basis and use the option 'next' to
|
|
|
-move to the next controller in the system.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-e.g.
|
|
|
- amiboot -k kernel 53c7xx=nodisconnect:0,next,nosync:0
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- this uses No Disconnection on the first controller and Asynchronous
|
|
|
- SCSI on the second controller.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Known Issues:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Two devices are known not to function with the default settings of using
|
|
|
-synchronous SCSI. These are the Archive Viper 150 Tape Drive and the
|
|
|
-SyQuest SQ555 removeable hard drive. When using these devices on a controller
|
|
|
-use the 'nosync:0' option.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Please try these options and post any problems/successes to me.
