RE: Adaptec 3210S Problems

Thanks.  Been there done that - they have no idea!  Cabling replaced, terminations are good.  I've contacted Hitachi - they think it might be a firmware issue so I'll try that.

Termination, Cabling and/or Drive Firmware Incompatibilities. Good idea
to get your TSID ready, list of components and their firmware versions
and call Adaptec Support and work through the discovery cookbook.

Subject: Adaptec 3210S Problems

I'm running a Linux system with a Adaptec 3210S controller.  Right now
the
system has nothing on it and I have not created any RAID.  I've notice
that when I boot into the Adaptec CD and watch the drives they keep
getting flagged as missing.  If I do a "Read system config" the drives
show up and the flag goes away.  A few minutes later they are flagged as

missing again.  This is a little discouraging as it appears I have a
problem.  Any ideas on what is happening - why do my drives keep getting

flagged as missing?  I need to find out before I install Linux!

Thanks.
