Subject: PC installation problem with aha1542.
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 1995 16:53:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19951020205329.MeyQJFiOnh5nQyXIKW_dGWkvC3AJvGDduUUtkS8ja4w@z> (raw)

I'm having trouble getting the PC distribution to install on an Intel
pentium system with an aha1542 SCSI adapter. 

I booted off a diskette built from the instructions in 'Read this section
if you have trouble installing on the PC.' The hardware rollcall says

Adaptec AHA-1540CP/1542CP BIOS v1.02

SCSI ID #0 seagate st31230n drive c: (80h)
SCSI ID #1 seagate st32550n drive d: (81h)
SCSI ID #6 toshiba xm-4101tasunlcd

Swapped floppies to the Plan 9 disk1, downloaded today

C:\>A:b

Goes to 'Configure SCSI' screen -- I chose the aha154x[BC] option at the
default port 0x330 and rebooted. 

5569 free pages, 22276K bytes, swap 111236K, highwater 1112K, headroom 1388K
CPU is a 99 MHz Pentium735 (cpuid: ax 525 dx 1bf)
scsi0: aha1542: port 330 irq 11, dma 5
fs...time...

(Long pause, then)
  
            adaptec0: timeout cmd=#00
adaptec0: invdcmd #02, len 1

(Another long pause)
            
adaptec0: timeout cmd=#03
adaptec0: invdcmd #02, len 1

(Another long pause)

adaptec0: timeout cmd=#1b
adaptec0: invdcmd #02, len 1

at which point I gave up.  I don't know anything about PCs per se; the
SCSI adapter seems to be at the default settings, according to Adaptec's
utility program.  Any suggestion?
