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

Please test with the latest 2.6.37 kernel

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