Problems with adaptec 19160, aic7xx and Tape Library

[Ronald Brindl]

I have an adaptec 19160 and a tapelibrary from peakstorage (8-pak)
the backup (tar) works as expected, but after a few days i get the
following error messages in syslog:
i have tried everything (cables, other controller (29160), different
kernel versions, different driver versions).
there seems to be an incompatibility between the controller and the
library, or some settings have to be set to nonstandard values, which i
dont know.
please reply to my mail-address: rbrindl at gmx.at , thanks.

thanks for helping!
