My sane-scsi(5) says:
ncr810 For this card, make sure the SCSI timeout is
reasonably big; the default timeout for the
Linux 2.0 kernels is 10 seconds, which is
way too low when scanning large area. If
you get messages of the form "restart (ncr
dead ?)" in your /var/log/messages file or
on the system console, it's an indication
that the timeout is too short. In this
case, find the line "if (np->latetime>10)"
in file ncr53c8xx.c (normally in directory
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi) and change the
constant 10 to, say, 60 (one minute). Then
rebuild the kernel/module and try again.
The formatting is not ideal, but other than that, is the above not
clear enough?
