I told about one month ago, that i have problems with
1542 SCSI controller and Archive 2150 SCSI Streamer tape.
I found actual bug with help of Interactive systems technical
support. The problem was that Faulty Tape Cardrdge caused Kernel
Panic. It seems that there may be bug in aha 1542/ 1540 driver
that when it receives error from tape drive it hangs SCSI bus and
makes disk io inpossible and then causes panic. There is no afect if
you change tape or disk drives, controllers or motherboards, If you
have got box of faulty tapes, it will panic when you try to use these.
Now the SCSI tape works nicely, i can now backup all of our systems
over NFS with gnu tar.
