Hi,

i am currently using linux kernel version 2.6.15-rc5 on x86 with Promise
SATAII150 TX2Plus(250G SATA HDD Disk x 2).

But, SATA HDD disk does not become. program execute result of "fdisk
/dev/sda" is  "Unable to read /dev/sda".

Work well in linux kernel version 2.6.13.2.

Do not act below since change as result that do debugging.
      "[SCSI] use scatter lists for all block pc requests and
simplify hw handlers"

Test and tried your bug patch,  but, result is same.


I do not think my patch was meant to address your issue :(


By result that I do debugging, if queuecommand () of LLD layer returns
result properly, but execute scsi_probe_lun () -> scsi_execute_req ()
-> blk_execute_rq ()  by thing which is not realized to proc/scsi/scsi
come out . after execute blk_execute_rq(), then cmd->buffer,
cmd->request_buffer is NULL. so, "Model:"  in scsi_add_lun() ->
print_inquiry() comes out NULL.


I am not sure I understand correctly, but I do not think the analysis above is completely correct. scsi_execute_req gets a buffer passed to it so it should not matter if those fields are set to NULL when scsi_execute_req completes as long as something has been copied to the buffer passed into scsi_execute_req.

Kernel version: 2.6.15-rc5
SATA Controller: Promise SATAII150 TX2Plus
SATA HDD: Western Digital 250G x 2
SATA Driver: http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productID=126&category=all&os=100#


I am not too familar with SATA. Is this driver in mainline and does it use libata? Which module is it?

I downloaded SATAII150_300_Series_Linux_src of that site and it looks like it should not assume some commands are scatterlist based and some are use_sg=0. The driver needs to be updated.
