In article <4j4f5l$pfk@tiger.utw.com> Aron Hsiao <cghsiao@utw.com> writes: I've just upgraded from 1.3.62 to 1.3.75, and at the same time (foolishly, I suppose) also upgraded a piece of hardware - from an Archive Viper 2525S to an Archive Anaconda 2750. I have for SCSI controllers two seperate BusLogic BT-946C controllers, with the tape on one, and the drive being backed up on the other. Before upgrading the kernel, I did make one successful backup with the Anaconda drive. The problem is this: since upgrading to 1.3.75, I haven't been able to make a single successful backup with either AFIO or TAR. Well, I suggest you start by going back to the working 1.3.62 kernel and see if it still works. If it does not, try swapping the BT-946C's to see if the problem goes away. The BusLogic driver has not changed recently, though a new version is coming very soon, but from 1.3.73 onward there have been reports of interrupt latency and SCSI timeout problems. Leonard
