3 | Use the following options to disable options in the SCSI driver. | ||
4 | |||
5 | Using amiboot for example..... | ||
6 | |||
7 | To disable Synchronous Negotiation.... | ||
8 | |||
9 | amiboot -k kernel 53c7xx=nosync:0 | ||
10 | |||
11 | To disable Disconnection.... | ||
12 | |||
13 | amiboot -k kernel 53c7xx=nodisconnect:0 | ||
14 | |||
15 | To disable certain SCSI devices... | ||
16 | |||
17 | amiboot -k kernel 53c7xx=validids:0x3F | ||
18 | |||
19 | this allows only device ID's 0,1,2,3,4 and 5 for linux to handle. | ||
20 | (this is a bitmasked field - i.e. each bit represents a SCSI ID) | ||
21 | |||
22 | These commands work on a per controller basis and use the option 'next' to | ||
23 | move to the next controller in the system. | ||
24 | |||
25 | e.g. | ||
26 | amiboot -k kernel 53c7xx=nodisconnect:0,next,nosync:0 | ||
27 | |||
28 | this uses No Disconnection on the first controller and Asynchronous | ||
29 | SCSI on the second controller. | ||
30 | |||
31 | Known Issues: | ||
32 | |||
33 | Two devices are known not to function with the default settings of using | ||
34 | synchronous SCSI. These are the Archive Viper 150 Tape Drive and the | ||
35 | SyQuest SQ555 removeable hard drive. When using these devices on a controller | ||
36 | use the 'nosync:0' option. | ||
37 | |||
38 | Please try these options and post any problems/successes to me. | ||
