Hardware :: Adaptec 39160 Scsi Fails To Detect Seagate Drive
Dec 4, 2010
just bought an adaptec 39160 PCI scsi controller and 34Gb drive and installed it on my computer.When i Booted it up a utility thing ran which said 'detecting array' and it found the drive and its size etc. it didn't go any further to allow my system to boot, so I rebooted and pressed CTRL + A to enter the adaptec scsi config. I changed something in there to make the disk non bootable (i Think) and rebooted the system.
It now hangs at :
'Detecting Array .....'
and does not show the drive details or the CTRL + A option to enter the utilities. So the only option I have had is to remove the adaptec controller ( and the system boots fine) the mother board is an Abit an8 ultra - probably about 4 years old and cpu is amd 64 I guess i have broken it and my remedy would be to reset the default options on the adaptec controller, but you can probably guess I have v. limited knowledge and have not used scsi before.

Has anyone successfully used an Adaptec 2100S in a RAID configuration? Specifically, RAID1?
Drivers exist for earlier version of Red Hat, but building an using a driver disk results in the error:
Driver disk is invalid for this release of CentOS
CentOS does not recognize the adapter out-of-the-box as a HW RAID controller, but does recognize the individual disks.
I attempted to use software RAID, but the installer craps-out after a while and the screen locks up.

I have an Asus P5K motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo 8400. It has 2 SATA hard disks, a 250 GB Seagate and a 500GB Hitachi.
I've been running Fedora 10 x86_64 for 6 months on this computer without problems.
I'm trying to do a new Fedora 11 install on this computer but the installer (Anaconda?) only detects the Hitachi disk.
I've tried to make a new Fedora 10 install to check if it was a media or disk problem and it detects the two hard disks.
I've tried to install it via a Live CD, and the installer only detects the Hitachi disk. The LiveCD detects the two hard disks, I can access it, partition, format, write, but the installer only detects the Hitachi.
I've tried to change from Enhanced SATA (AHCI) to Compatible in BIOS without success and I've changed SATA cables from one disk to the other, changed the disk order and nothing.
Must I enter some boot parameters for Fedora 11? Has the LiveCD installer some options?

I am attaching a LTO-3 tape drivce into my RHEL5 linux machine. Every time i used to restart my machine to detect the tape drive is there any way to rescan the buses to detect the newly attached scsi devices. In solaris "devfsadm" and "iostat" is there. I need the same kind of thing in linux.

I have a Dell PE 600 box with 2 Adaptec 2110s U160 Single Channel RAID controller supported 6 HDDs.I am trying to install Ubuntu from a mini ISO - tried server / desktop / alternate as well. And also different Ubuntu versions.The mini installer runs upto setting the time zone (after configuring for DHCP et.al.) and then on the screen 'Detecting Disks and Other Hardware' hangs up.Now I am assuming its because of the fact that I have 2 of the above controllers - as I have another similar box with only 1 of the controllers and it installs/boots fine with no problems.Look forward to you suggestions/help and if there is any other info I can provide. I plan to set up Ubuntu 10.10 server on it. Btw I don't think its a Linux problem as SUSE 11.3 installs fine on the box.

I've searched around and found a lot of reports of people's FreeAgent drives randomly spinning down (and what to do about it), or for people who can see the drive but can't mount it. I have a different problem: I can't see the drive at all. I plug it in, andit makes a beeping noise for a while (think 'Defcon 4', but not as loud). Then, it stops, but nothing's happened. fdisk -l just shows my normal 4 partitions.I'm running Ubuntu (Karmic), and this is a 500 GB FreeAgent GO drive from Seagate (brand new, right out-of-the-box).

I was trying to update the drive for my adaptec raid controller. Unfortunately, Adaptec only provides RPM packages. So I converted the package using alien. After dpkg install, I then tried using dkms to build the module:
Code:
root@atulsatom# dkms add -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.26400
Adding driver was successful, but I got some error during the build
Code:
root@atulsatom# dkms build -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.26400
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping.

Alright, im completely new to linux. I am somewhat knowledgeable with computers in general. My programming instructor for school told us that it would be in our best interest of the course to grab a linux distro and install it on our computers. (Don't ask me why, i dont know)ANYWAY, i am trying to get debian to install on my external USB 1.5TB Seagate HDD Drive. After learning a lot about Murphy's Law, i had to fix my MBR for windows (the windows installation is located on my internal SATA 1.5TB Seagate Drive) because GRUB wouldnt boot to windows unless i had my external plugged in.
So, the natural solution to me was to fix the MBR, unplug the internal, then re-install on my external, it worked. Well to my surprise, this cloud i was on... wasn't cloud 9. NOW, Debian will boot if i have the external plugged in and windows will boot if i have the internal plugged in. The Problem is, when i have both plugged in and my external set as the boot drive i get this weird error and it will not let me boot linux.Now, i have searched for a fix.. But the ones i have tried so far haven't worked or i wasn't sure how to use those fixes(because im new).The error went as follows:/bin/sh can't access tty; job control mode offthen i get a initramfs command line. (I think thats proper terminology)The temporary fix i have going right now is i have my computer open and the SATA cable unplugged so i can boot to Debian.

I'm looking at getting a Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB drive for my HTPC. However I was initially looking at the WD Cavier Green due to it's power saving features. Upon finding out about the Green's problems interacting with the Linux Kernel I have ditched the idea of getting a WD.
Does the Barracuda suffer from similar problems as the Cavier Green.Are there any problems at all with the drive and the kernel not playing nice together? Do I need to set anything in the kernel config to help enable power saving features of the drive so that when the PC is not in use the drive uses as little power as possible?

I have loaded openSuSE 11.4 on an IBM x3400 box with an Adaptec ServeRAID 8k-l SAS harddisk adapter. openSuSE 11.1 was previously loaded on this box and was using XEN kernels.) The default "desktop" kernel boots and operates correctly. I use this machine to run other XEN virtual machines to run different versions or our companies printer controller application. When I attempt to boot the xen kernel, the kernel cannot locate the root partition (or any other partition) on the hard disk. Here are a few lines of kernel output:

by default fedora 13 mounts the drive under /media/uuid, with no read or write access to users other than root. I need to be able to turn the drive on, have it automount so that I can read and write to it without logging in as root every time and dealing with changing permissions on files, etc.
In other distributions, this has worked flawlessly, but I'm not familiar enough with Fedora 13 yet to get it working. I've read the man pages, tried to search, but I can't seem to find a working answer,If I could get this one little inconvenience fixed, I'd be set... loving Fedora so far.

I have a dual boot PC with Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.1. The problem did start with Ubuntu 9.04. I think the problem started around the same time I added a Seagate FreeAgent USB hard drive for backups. The GRUB OS list will come up after the PC boots. I can select Vista and it will start w/o a problem. If I try to boot to Ubuntu the PC will restart itself. It may try and start Ubuntu MANY times until it eventually gets started. I have tried to repair the problem with no results so far. I have tried it with and without the Seagate device attached.

I have a Seagate Freedesk external drive. I formatted it to ext3 (as per several posts regarding this)However I cannot mount the drive. If I go "places" "computer" I can see the drive (simply entitled USB Drive) but if I try to open it it says "cannot mount the drive". If I right click and select "Mount Volume" I get Nothing. How can I get this to auto mount like other usb drives? I am using Hardy on a Compaq Laptop.

I plugged in a seagate expansion drive 1Tb into my linux server for backup purposes but it is unable to mount it. I can see the expansion drive in My computer but when I click on it, it says unable to mount, device already mounted or busy. Windows can read the hard disk with no problems. It is ntfs formatted. I installed ntfs kernel and fuse. Ntfs is displayed when I run cat /proc/filesystems. However it just can't mount the expansion drive.

I have been a Linux user for about 6 years now, and recently switched to Fedora just to try something new. I used Ubuntu for the majority of the time so I am somewhat familiar with the command line, but seem to be having trouble with my external HDD. Ubuntu automounted it no problem. Fedora doesn't seem to like to do that. I tried searching and I did what almost every thread insisted upon; which is mount /dev/sdb(that is what dmesg said) but it says already mounted or /mnt/busy. So this is the extent of my Terminal experience with mounting an external drive, and I am completely dumbfounded as to why it simply won't mount. I am liking Fedora so far and so long as there is a remedy for this I don't plan on going back.

I was trying to reformat my Seagate external hard drive and I selected "free Space," in disk utility not realizing that the computer would no longer recognize the device. I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on it so now how do I format it now to the GUID format? I luckily backed up the entire contents of the hard drive (The essential files on it), but what do I do now that the computer doesen't recognize it!?

i m facing same error in most of the HCL servers. the problem is that it throws error while booting and sometimes not throws error. the error is :-
Feb 13 13:17:25 fe13s kernel: Adapter 0: Bus A: The SCSI controller was reset due to SCSI BUS noise or an invalid signal. Check cables, termination, termpower, LVDS operation, etc.
Feb 13 13:17:30 fe13s kernel: Adapter 0: Bus B: The SCSI controller successfully recovered from a SCSI BUS issue. The issue may still be present on the BUS. Check cables, termination, termpower, LVDS operation, etc
Feb 13 13:29:15 fe13s kernel: Adapter 0: Bus B: The SCSI controller successfully recovered from a SCSI BUS issue. The issue may still be present on the BUS. Check cables, termination, termpower, LVDS operation, etc

In my understanding, the way /proc/scsi/scsi gets populated, /proc/paritions also gets populated in the same fashion. i.e. the description for first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi can be seen in the first entry of /proc/partitions and same for rest.
So, With this assumption, in my project, I used to relate first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi with first entry of /proc/partitions to get its total size and same for all entries.
But, I observed some differences in following scenario, where
1) The first 4 entries in /proc/scsi/scsi are SAN luns attached to my system and for which the actual device names in /dev/ are sda,sdb,sdc and sdd.
2) The last 4 entries are the internal HDDs on same system. In /dev/, their respective device names are sde,sdf,sdg & sdh.
(Output attached at end of the thread)
But in /proc/partitions, the device order is different.
You can see their respective sizes in /proc/partition output as well.
So, my question is, in this particular scenario, I can't relate the first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi with first entry of /proc/partition. i.e. scsi0:00:00:00 is not /dev/sde, because it is actually /dev/sda.
It seems that my assumption is wrong in this scenario.
Is there any way or mechanism to figure out actual device name for an entry in /proc/scsi/scsi in /dev/ directory?
How can my application should relate /proc/scsi/scsi entries with their respective device names and sizes?

When I enter "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" I'm returned with "cat: /proc/scsi/scsi: No such file or directory". I've tried this on two different installs on two different machines.

I just installed centos 5 on a hp dl380 server and it has 2 72.8 scsi gig hard drives. The problem I am having is that only one hard drive is being recognized and it is not being recognized as a scsi. This is what I get from fdisk -l
Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 72.8 GB, 72833679360 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8854 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 14 8854 71015332+ 8e Linux LVM
as you can see, the system doesn't even see the second hard drive. How do I get both hard drives to be seen and how do I get them to be recognized as scsi?

Some of our workstations have LTO's attached and they seem to drop off every now and again, the only thing which picks them up again (besides a reboot) is the famous rescan-scsi-bus script from here
The thing is that I'd like non-root users to be able to run this script, which in turn needs root to /proc/scsi/scsi

I need to read some data from a hdd that belongs to an old SCO Unix system. The SCSI card is PCI so I unplugged it from the old SCO unix box and stuck it in a new computer and booted using a Fedora 14 USB pen drive. The SCSI card was recognized and so was the hdd but it was not mounted. I then went into Applications, Disk Utility, and found the hdd. Under 'Edit Partition' the type was blank. I was tempted to set it to 'Extended' but was not sure whether that could damage the data on the disk. Does anyone know whether I would be able to read this Hdd by setting the type to 'Extended'?

I have just purchased (AT ENORMOUS EXPENSE) a used 306637-004 36 GB hard drive. It has come, by default, with no jumpers and my scsi controller recognizes it as SCSI device 0.Very inconvenient as it clashes with my existing IBM 9GB drive I am loth to play about with.Does any kind person out there know how to jumper this drive to be SCSI ID 1 or 2 (say).

I did an installation of SUSE 11.2 on a new SCSI hard drive. Keeping the old hard drive separate. I remembered there was some info on the old hard drive I wanted.
I added this to the system and mounted a partition. I then copied the data over. Then I umounted the partition rebooted the machine and removed the hard drive. However the machine will now not boot without this hard drive even though its not mounted. Not sure what the error message im given means I think it could be trying to fchk it.Do I need to do something more like remove /dev/sdd ?
