Matt, Thanks for the response. Each device is on a separate interrupt. But it does seem like an interrupt related problem, doesn't it ? -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Wilcox [mailto:matthew@xxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 1:41 PM To: Jones, David G Cc: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: SCSI timeouts with sym-2 driver On Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:36:37PM -0400, Jones, David G wrote: > Everything works fine until I try to use the hard drive and PC card at > the same time.

If so, I'd urge you to examine both of the interrupt handlers; it feels like one of the drivers is not playing well with the other when an interrupt occurs on both at the same time. Or maybe it's a problem in the arch code where it doesn't call both handlers? In any case, trying a recent 2.6 kernel may give better results. - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
