Boot: SCSI Timeouts
Support knowledgebase (tg_scsi_timout)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: All versions
Symptom:
Your system is equipped with a SCSI controller. During the boot
process, the following message is displayed:
SCSI: aborting command due to timeout ...
Cause:
The devices connected to your SCSI controller do not behave according
to the SCSI standard.
Solution:
There are two possibilities:
- Enter the following parameter at the boot prompt:
linux max_scsi_luns=1
(linux
stands for the name of the
kernel.)
- Open the file
/etc/lilo.conf
with an editor and
append the line:
append="max_scsi_luns=1"
to the line image = /boot/vmlinuz
Then start lilo
. Your devices should work smoothly
after the reboot.
