I have a SYMBIOS SCSI Host Adapter, Yamaha SCSI CDRW, and an Iomega
SCSI ZIP Drive.
Something keeps malfunctioning and I can't figure out what it is.
CDRW is id 6 (Terminated)
ZIP is id 5
I'm not sure of its the cdrw, the scsi card, or the zip drive
The attached messages appear periodically apparently identifying the
cdrw as the culprit.
But the cdrw works fine while in windows. And works fine in linux until
something unknown happens.
So i think that something is just configured improperly. I am running
RedHat 7, PIII 450, 256 MB RAM
This error completely stops the system from responding. for a couple of
seconds, but occurs over and over again.
I have to shutdown the computer. I've checked all tha tI can think of or
know of. Do I have the SCSI chain setup wrong.
Should the CDRW not be the terminator. I thought the last device id is
always the
terminator. Also what do the parity and block size jumpers on the cdrw
accomplish.
Can anyone please, please help. I hate having to go into windows to use
the cdrw.
The Following text will appear on tty1 over and over again, i copied it
from /var/log/messages:
