We recently bought a dozen Qlogic cards (model 2460 - 4Gbps). We installed OpenSuSE 10 and the OS recognizes the card and I can access the JBOD. OpenSuSE 10 installs kernel-default-2.6.13-15.7. For some reason I had to upgrade the kernel to kernel-default-2.6.15-4. Qlogic driver fails to recognize the JBOD after the upgrade. I also tried booting the kernel with "acpi=off noapm". But it did not help. Attached below is the relevant output of "dmesg" for both the kernels. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Works (kernel-default-2.6.13-15.7) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: Found an ISP2422, irq 11, iobase 0xd13be000 kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: Configuring PCI space... kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: Configure NVRAM parameters... kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: Verifying loaded RISC code... kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: Allocated (1061 KB) for firmware dump... kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: Waiting for LIP to complete... kernel: BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 1 devices found kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: LIP reset occured (f7f7). kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: LIP occured (f7f7). kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: LOOP UP detected (1 Gbps). kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: Topology - (Loop), Host Loop address 0x0 kernel: scsi2 : qla2xxx kernel: qla2xxx 0000:02:02.0: kernel: QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver: 8.01.00b5-k kernel: QLogic QLA2460 - PCI-X 2.0 to 4Gb FC, Single Channel kernel: ISP2422: PCI (33 MHz) @ 0000:02:02.0 hdma-, host#=2, fw=4.00.12 [IP] kernel: Vendor: SUN Model: SENA Rev: 1.09 kernel: Type: Enclosure ANSI SCSI revision: 03 kernel: Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 13 kernel: Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAN3735F SUN72G Rev: 1504 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 kernel: SCSI device sdb: 143374738 512-byte hdwr sectors (73408 MB) kernel: SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write through kernel: SCSI device sdb: 143374738 512-byte hdwr sectors (73408 MB) kernel: SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write through kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 kernel: Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi2, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 kernel: Attached scsi generic sg2 at scsi2, channel 0, id 1, lun 0, type 0 kernel: Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAN3735F SUN72G Rev: 1504 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 kernel: SCSI device sdc: 143374738 512-byte hdwr sectors (73408 MB) kernel: SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write through kernel: SCSI device sdc: 143374738 512-byte hdwr sectors (73408 MB) kernel: SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write through kernel: sdc: sdc1 kernel: Attached scsi disk sdc at scsi2, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 kernel: Attached scsi generic sg3 at scsi2, channel 0, id 2, lun 0, type 0 kernel: Vendor: SUN Model: SENA Rev: 1.09 kernel: Type: Enclosure ANSI SCSI revision: 03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fails (kernel-default-2.6.15-4) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- kernel: QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver kernel: qla2400: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. kernel: qla2400 0000:02:02.0: Found an ISP2422, irq 11, iobase 0xd1370000 kernel: qla2400 0000:02:02.0: Configuring PCI space... kernel: qla2400 0000:02:02.0: Configure NVRAM parameters... kernel: qla2400 0000:02:02.0: Verifying loaded RISC code... kernel: qla2400 0000:02:02.0: [ERROR] Failed to load segment 0 of firmware kernel: Mailbox registers: kernel: scsi(2): mbox 0 0x0000 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 1 0x0000 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 2 0x0002 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 3 0x4001 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 4 0x0000 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 5 0x0000 kernel: qla2400 0000:02:02.0: [ERROR] Failed to load segment 0 of firmware kernel: Mailbox registers: kernel: scsi(2): mbox 0 0x0000 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 1 0x0000 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 2 0x0002 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 3 0x4001 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 4 0x0000 kernel: scsi(2): mbox 5 0x0000 kernel: qla2400 0000:02:02.0: Failed to initialize adapter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
