• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Konstantin Agouros 2011-01-01 19:02:25 UTC]

With the boot of 2.6.35-r5 my scsi controller (a dawi control) stopped working. All I found, when the module was loaded was:
Jan  1 18:17:14 rumba kernel: [    9.523533] sym53c8xx 0000:00:0c.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Jan  1 18:17:14 rumba kernel: [    9.524677] sym0: <875> rev 0x26 at pci 0000:00:0c.0 irq 17
Jan  1 18:17:14 rumba kernel: [    9.574370] sym0: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking
Jan  1 18:17:14 rumba kernel: [    9.576012] sym0: SCSI BUS has been reset.
Jan  1 18:17:14 rumba kernel: [    9.646164] scsi1 : sym-2.2.3
 and a bit later:
Jan  1 18:17:14 rumba kernel: [   14.334884] scsi target1:0:6: FAST-20 WIDE SCSI 40.0 MB/s ST (50 ns, offset 16)
Jan  1 18:17:14 rumba kernel: [   14.335920] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR1=1 DBC=11000004 SBCL=ae
Jan  1 18:17:14 rumba kernel: [   14.338990] scsi target1:0:6: FAST-20 SCSI 20.0 MB/s ST (50 ns, offset 16)

Problem does not occur in lower kernels.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the kernel


Actual Results:  
scsi device (a tape drive) not working

Expected Results:  
scsi device (a tape drive) accessible

Created attachment 258586 [details]
.config for the non working kernel

Of course here is the .config file

[Comment 2 Mike Pagano 2011-03-06 20:25:28 UTC]

Please test with the latest 2.6.37 kernel

[Comment 3 Mike Pagano 2011-03-21 18:51:42 UTC]

Reopen after testing with 2.6.38 and if you still have the same issue
