Hi Christian,

if I understand Finn right, he needs the SCSI host ID reported for the 
Falcon SCSI chip, as found in this kernel log line:

What I'd really like is a regression test for this patch series. The SCSI 
host ID issue is a separate one; these patches won't fix that bug.


scsi host0: Atari native SCSI, io_port 0x0, n_io_port 0, base 0x0, irq 
15, can_queue 8, cmd_per_lun 1, sg_tablesize 0, this_id 7, flags { }, 
options { REAL_DMA SUPPORT_TAGS }

(see this_id; output from one of my ARAnyM instances, kernel 3.19rc6). 
Also, the SCSI host ID reported by cat /proc/drivers/nvram (also 7, in 
my case)

This seems inconclusive to me. Perhaps if you were to change a setting in 
TOS such that the two values became unequal...


TOS reports the SCSI host ID during boot (when scannig for bootable 
disks) IIRC. There may be some control panel to view the NVRAM settings 
as well (stuff like default video mode was accessible from the CT60 
control panel so the SCSI host ID might be there as well).

Can that be done in Aranym also?

Hi Finn,

I'm afraid I cannot test anything on Atari hardware at present - my
Falcon ate it's IDE disk partition table with all the fun that entails.

That doesn't sound good.

Haven't even begun to try and recover that yet.

If you send a patch I could build a kernel and send that to Christian
for testing (if he's got his Falcon up and running - might be a tad warm
in the attic for that, in fact).

Anyone with a suitable Atari, i.e. ATARIHW_PRESENT(TT_CLK), who can boot
both TOS and Linux could resolve the question. (Perhaps with an emulator?)

The Falcon is not powered on currently but it should still work. What should
I test?

Any old kernel binary would do, since atari_scsi should print either
"HOSTID=n" or "this_id n" at startup.

If n doesn't agree with what TOS says about the host's SCSI ID, then I
think a trivial patch is safe enough. Especially if cat /proc/driver/nvram
produces a "SCSI host ID : m" that does agree with TOS.
