GT&gt; The README does say this, but it doesn't give the slightest hint<br>
GT&gt; as to *where* this "SCSI timeout" is changable. I didn't see<br>
GT&gt; anything about SCSI timout in the kernel configuration, and the<br>
GT&gt; line that I changed in the ncr53c8xx.c had the number "10"<br>
GT&gt; hardcoded.<br>
<p>
Kolja&gt; afaik, /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.c (look for TIMEOUT<br>
Kolja&gt; defines)<br>
<p>
My sane-scsi(5) says:<br>
<p>
ncr810 For this card, make sure the SCSI timeout is<br>
reasonably big; the default timeout for the<br>
Linux 2.0 kernels is 10 seconds, which is<br>
way too low when scanning large area. If<br>
you get messages of the form "restart (ncr<br>
dead ?)" in your /var/log/messages file or<br>
on the system console, it's an indication<br>
that the timeout is too short. In this<br>
case, find the line "if (np-&gt;latetime&gt;10)"<br>
in file ncr53c8xx.c (normally in directory<br>
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi) and change the<br>
constant 10 to, say, 60 (one minute). Then<br>
rebuild the kernel/module and try again.<br>
<p>
The formatting is not ideal, but other than that, is the above not<br>
clear enough?<br>
