Hi,
While struggling to get a DEC HSG80 working with a qla2312 FC card with a 2.6 kernel,
I noticed that the following patch:
--- linux-2.6.13.4/drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c.orig 2005-11-17 17:52:49.424914776 +0100
+++ linux-2.6.13.4/drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c 2005-11-17 17:53:12.938400491 +0100

(to be found at http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2004-04/0511.html)
was never applied (probably because the poster didn't follow up on James' question).
Applying this patch, I am able to see the device correctly, although I get a good half an hour
of messages like:
scsi: unknown device type 31
Vendor: DEC Model: HSG80 Rev: V86F
Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02
on my syslog. But I guess those will be fixable by tweaking the max_report_luns option (Will do
on monday once I get a hold of such machine).
So, to the point, could the above patch be integrated? Any specific
testing I should be doing to get it integrated?
thanks,
Michele
ps. for the record kernels >= 2.6.14 end up in a soft lockup in the qla drivers
