Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W SCSI controller on Ubuntu 6.1

Perps · 09-14-2007, 09:22 PM

Greetings to all.

I was wondering if anyone could provide any advice as to how to go about setting up a SCSI controller on a headless install of Ubuntu 6.1 server (2.6.17-10-powerpc kernel). The controller card is being detected properly, as lspci yields the following:

Code:

0000:00:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth AGP
0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS
0001:10:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth PCI
0001:10:0d.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21154 (rev 05)
0001:11:02.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W
0001:11:07.0 Class ff00: Apple Computer Inc. KeyLargo Mac I/O (rev 03)
0001:11:08.0 USB Controller: Apple Computer Inc. KeyLargo USB
0001:11:09.0 USB Controller: Apple Computer Inc. KeyLargo USB
0001:11:0a.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB12LV26 IEEE-1394 Controller (Link)
0002:21:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth Internal PCI
0002:21:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth GMAC (Sun GEM) (rev 01)

I've done some reading, and apparently the Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W uses the aic7xxx driver, which I have successfully loaded using modprobe aic7xxx, such that lsmod now lists it as being present.

What do I do from this point? There are three 16GB hard drives attached to the SCSI card, and I want to know how to access them. Can anyone provide any information?

Many thanks,

- Perps.

Since you loaded the module run this command as root to see if they are found.
/sbin/fdisk -l

Also info from dmesg command can help.

What you are looking for if you have no other scsi, USB, Firewire, Sata or IDE drives running under pata mode sata module is /dev/sda for the first drive. /dev/sdb for the second and so on.

Thanks for the reply Brian1.

sudo /sbin/fdisk -l yields the following:

Code:

/dev/hda

This is beyond me as to the errors listed in the dmesg output. You might google for the error message or portions of it. Also contact the developers of the module.
