Can you try swapping the cards around? I don't know of a device with ID 0007. Being one bit different from 000f (which is the correct ID for both the 875 and 876 chips) makes me suspicious it may be in a defective PCI slot. I had one of those recently with an Asus Nvidia board. > Booting with with the 1000:000f cards and append="sym53c8xx.verb=2" gives > me: > > PCI: Enabling device 0000:01:02.0 (0000 -> 0003) > PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:01:02.0 to 64 > sym0: <875> rev 0x14 at pci 0000:01:02.0 irq 0 > sym0: clock multiplier found > sym0: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, HVD, parity checking > sym0: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM > sym0: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. > sym0: initial SCNTL3/DMODE/DCNTL/CTEST3/4/5 = (hex) 07/ce/a8/01/80/24 > sym0: final SCNTL3/DMODE/DCNTL/CTEST3/4/5 = (hex) 05/46/80/01/08/24 > CACHE TEST FAILED: reg dstat-sstat2 readback ffffffff. > sym0: CACHE INCORRECTLY CONFIGURED. > sym0: giving up ... I don't like the look of this. If you're getting ffffffff back from those particular registers, the chip has clearly gone fatal. But I use 875 controllers *all the time*, so there's something odd going on here. I don't know what to suggest at this point, I'm afraid. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
