What model ia64 are you running James? I'll see if Adaptec has one to try to help reproduce this issue. Jeff, have you tried the fixes to see if they addressed the issues you were seeing (OCM error when BIOS off and booted off of SCSI)?

Is the soft lockup detect in the same (asd_read_ocm+0x120) function and offset. I did a resync with Jeff's tree and ran the code on a ppc64 system. This ran ok. I will move my card to an IA64 tomorrow to see if I can recreate (which may be unlikely as it ran a number of loads before) and also generate a .lst file. -andmike -- Michael Anderson andmike@xxxxxxxxxx - : 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
