AIC SCSI Help

We are having trouble with the AIC-7899W SCSI driver. The Fsys.aha8scsi
driver doesn’t appear to work with it. The vendor ID is 9005h and the
device ID is cfh. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

What version are you using (sin ver)? Can you post the output from
“show_pci -vvv”?

Thanks for the reply.

The QNX install disk is from July 2003. (We haven’t been able to do an
install because of this issue).

The date on the Fsys.aha8scsi driver is April 26, 2002

The driver should work on the CF device ID. Is it just the installation CD
that doesn’t detect the controller? Does it work if you take a drive from
another aha8 installed system?

The installation CD does not detect it, or should I say it detects the
SCSI drive but does not offer the aha8 driver as an option. We tried
every driver in the offered list, but none of them worked. We put the
aha8 driver from another system onto a floppy and used the load from
floppy option with the installation CD, but it did not work either. We
have never had to use the aha8 driver before, so we have no baseline of
another system to compare to.

Thanks!

I think the problem is the disktrap does not detect the aha8 devices.
When the GUI install first starts, open a terminal (click the QNX button
in the bottom left, then select terminal or shell or something similar).
Now start the Fsys and Fsys.aha8 driver. Now continue with the install.
