'e2fsck -c' found no bad blocks on the drive and neither did 'Verify
Media'. At least it didn't find any on the fourth pass. The first three
passes failed with a "Unexpected Timeout has occurred". I have had the
same thing happen before while booting Win95 with respect to the SCSI bus
locking up on me, but I attribute all problems like that to Win95. If the
system successfully boots, Win95 will not lock up no matter how hard I
pushed it. I hadn't had any trouble with Linux at all concerning SCSI.
I don't know if it could be the problem, but I just installed a new
motherboard and processor last month. I don't believe I saw the troubles
with Win95 until then, but I run it so infrequently it is hard to judge.
I have an Abit IT5H v2 and Intel P233. The system is not overclocked; I
have the board set to a 66MHz bus speed. There is no conflict with IRQ's.
Could it be the SCSI card failing after 2 1/2 years? I have not had the
SCSI card replaced. Maybe it feels left out. :(
Anything else I should try?
Thanks,
Sean
