(408) 458-0379 Date: Sat, 1 Jan 1994 18:06:20 GMT Lines: 40 I am trying to get a buslogic 545S controller to work on my machine. when the controller is installed the bios is recognizing the installed hard disk and scsi tape unit. the kcopy-ah-floppy boots i then install the filesystem floppy and when it probes the controller i see the following messages: aha0: aha_cmd, cmd/data port empty 3 aha0: above cmd/data port empty do to Buslogic 545 aha0: reading board settings, dma=5 int=11 aha0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa aha0: cmd fail aha0: abort failed in wait aha0: MBO not free aha0: cmd fail aha0: abort failed in wait aha0: MBO not free aha0: cmd fail aha0: abort failed in wait aha0: MBO not free aha0: cmd fail aha0: abort failed in wait aha0: cmd fail aha0: abort failed in wait it then panics. Its not the disks cause they are recognised at system initialization and i checked by disconnecting them entirely. To get any further i had to pull the board out but then of course i couldn't load anything on my disks. Is there any thing special i need to do to the default settings that come with the board? If anyone knows i'd appreciate the tip. thanks, jason -- *************** Jason Thomasser jst@netcom.com (408) 458-0379 *************** * Enterprise Network Designs, Inc. P.O.
