Here is a complete dmesg starting at the mount /dev/sdb1 /ritel1 which crashes the system eventually (I did a dmesg -c just before doing the mount): ReiserFS: sdb1: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal scsi1:0:0:0: Attempting to abort cmd ffff8101b1cdf880: 0x28 0x0 0x0 0xbc 0x0 0x3f 0x0 0x0 0x8 0x0 Infinite interrupt loop, INTSTAT = 0scsi1: At time of recovery, card was not paused >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dump Card State Begins <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< scsi1: Dumping Card State at program address 0x5 Mode 0x33 Card was paused HS_MAILBOX[0x0] INTCTL[0x80] SEQINTSTAT[0x0] SAVED_MODE[0x11] DFFSTAT[0x33] SCSISIGI[0x24] SCSIPHASE[0x0] SCSIBUS[0x0] LASTPHASE[0x1] SCSISEQ0[0x40] SCSISEQ1[0x12] SEQCTL0[0x0] SEQINTCTL[0x0] SEQ_FLAGS[0x0] SEQ_FLAGS2[0x0] SSTAT0[0x10] SSTAT1[0x0] SSTAT2[0x0] SSTAT3[0x0] PERRDIAG[0xc0] SIMODE1[0xac] LQISTAT0[0x0] LQISTAT1[0x0] LQISTAT2[0x80] LQOSTAT0[0x0] LQOSTAT1[0x0] LQOSTAT2[0x40] SCB Count = 4 CMDS_PENDING = 4 LASTSCB 0x1 CURRSCB 0x1 NEXTSCB 0xff00 qinstart = 146 qinfifonext = 146 QINFIFO: WAITING_TID_QUEUES: 0 ( 0x1 ) Pending list: 1 FIFO_USE[0x0] SCB_CONTROL[0x60] SCB_SCSIID[0x7] 2 FIFO_USE[0x0] SCB_CONTROL[0x60] SCB_SCSIID[0x7] 3 FIFO_USE[0x0] SCB_CONTROL[0x60] SCB_SCSIID[0x7] 0 FIFO_USE[0x0] SCB_CONTROL[0x60] SCB_SCSIID[0x7] Total 4 Kernel Free SCB list: Sequencer Complete DMA-inprog list: Sequencer Complete list: Sequencer DMA-Up and Complete list: scsi1: FIFO0 Free, LONGJMP == 0x8252, SCB 0x1 SEQIMODE[0x3f] SEQINTSRC[0x0] DFCNTRL[0x0] DFSTATUS[0x89] SG_CACHE_SHADOW[0x2] SG_STATE[0x0] DFFSXFRCTL[0x0] SOFFCNT[0x0] MDFFSTAT[0x5] SHADDR = 0x00, SHCNT = 0x0 HADDR = 0x00, HCNT = 0x0 CCSGCTL[0x10] scsi1: FIFO1 Free, LONGJMP == 0x8063, SCB 0x3 SEQIMODE[0x3f] SEQINTSRC[0x0] DFCNTRL[0x0] DFSTATUS[0x89] SG_CACHE_SHADOW[0x2] SG_STATE[0x0] DFFSXFRCTL[0x0] SOFFCNT[0x0] MDFFSTAT[0x5] SHADDR = 0x00, SHCNT = 0x0 HADDR = 0x00, HCNT = 0x0 CCSGCTL[0x10] LQIN: 0x8 0x0 0x0 0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 scsi1: LQISTATE = 0x1, LQOSTATE = 0x1a, OPTIONMODE = 0x52 scsi1: OS_SPACE_CNT = 0x20 MAXCMDCNT = 0x0 SIMODE0[0xc] CCSCBCTL[0x4] scsi1: REG0 == 0x1, SINDEX = 0x102, DINDEX = 0x102 scsi1: SCBPTR == 0x1, SCB_NEXT == 0xff00, SCB_NEXT2 == 0xff04 CDB 28 0 0 c8 0 3f STACK: 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Dump Card State Ends >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DevQ(0:0:0): 0 waiting DevQ(0:0:1): 0 waiting scsi1:0:0:0: Cmd aborted from QINFIFO Abort on some timeout?
