There should be a message telling either that termination is ON or OFF. aic7xxx: Cables present (Int-50 YES, Ext-50 NO) ==> aic7xxx: eprom not present, brdctl_int=0xac, brdctl_ext=0x6c ==> aic7xxx: Termination ON aic7xxx: BIOS enabled, IO Port 0xe400, IO Mem 0xfafd0000, IRQ 9 aic7xxx: Extended translation enabled. aic7xxx: Single Channel, SCSI ID 7, 16/16 SCBs, QFull 16, QMask 0x1f aic7xxx: Resetting channel A On my system the auto termination on a AHA 2940 works correctly. If you have an external SCSI device connected and the termination is still ON you should manually configure your SCSI host-adapter to termination off. I wonder that the above lines didn't appear in your message log at all. I used dmesg to display them. Torsten -- I haven't lost my mind -- it's backed up on tape somewhere.
