Re: Solved AHA152x problem



Hi,

after spending a morning on finding the problem I have the solution:
You have to compile ALL involved SCSI drivers (scsi, host adapter, disk,
cd, tape ?) into the kernel and not try to load them as modules. The
problem disappeared completely once I did that. Even more, first I only
compiled the sr support into the kernel and left the sd support as module.
The CD-ROMs worked while the disk didn't. /proc/scsi/scsi showed "No
devices attached" after trying to fdisk the disk, while I still could
mount the CDROMs. Very funny indeed.

The whole thing seems to be a 2.2 SCSI problem, since on a 2.0.36 kernel I
had no problems like this at all and all SCSI related drivers where
modules.

PS: Do you think it makes sense to report this to the kernel programmers
or do they already know about it.
