Re: trouble with AMANDA server (taper) on amd64 using Debian/AMD64/Sarge
2005-11-16 14:29:30
I am also using the aic7xxx driver also in a vanilla 2.6.14.2 kernel.
Will one of the other Adaptec drivers work for the Adaptec 29160N Ultra160 SCSI card ?

Hi James,
I have the same problem since my upgrade to Fedora Core 4 (FC4), the
server worked correctly with FC2.
It works correctly on FC4 with an old kernel (2.6.10-1.771_FC2smp).
I suspect the scsi driver, which driver are you using, I'm using aic7xxx.
