Hello Eric , Fyi , linux-2.6.21-rc4 + mpt-fusion(*) patches from
Andrew Morton's patch tree . Still gives me the ever looping reset . But I
have just found sometrhing of interest one of the Powersuplies in the cabiinet
'May be' failing . I have to test that to be satisfied that is the case .
I'll report back soon on the PS & please look into this . There is no
reason for the driver to keep a system in loop over a failing drive set .
Tia , JimL

Hello All , I am have been having this problem since I
purchased the
controller and after changing out the disks I thought were
the problem .
I am still getting the continous :
mptscsih: ioc1: attempting task abort! (sc=f7a64500)
scsi 3:0:4:0:
command: Inquiry: 12 00 00 00 60 00

target3:0:4: asynchronous
target3:0:5: Beginning Domain Validation
mptscsih: ioc0: attempting target reset! (sc=f7a64380)
The acutual device id's change and the driver
continously resets the
busses & starts all over .
The disks are in a HP DS-SL13R-BA 4354R 14drive ultra3
racKmount cabinet
w/ dualbus & dualps , Which seems to present a ID6 , That
does not show up in
any of the bus scans .
Now I have previously had the same cabinet with 18gb
disks which had the
same problem with this controller . BUT I also have a LSI
Logic / Symbios
Logic 53c1010 66MHz Ultra3 dual SCSI bus Adapter which works
flawlessly with the
18gb disks in this very same cabinet .
The cables for connecting the adapter(s) to tha cabinet
are less than 24
inches in length .
Would anyone please shed some light on what it is I am
doing wrong or
need to do or ....? Too have this controller recognise these
disk drives in
this cabinet .
There is a seperate mailing list for scsi releated issues, e.g.
linux-scsi@. I've posted a patch to address your issue several times,
however it seems its not been picked up by the scsi subsystem
maintainer. The last time it was posted was here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=117089244809072&w=2 An alternative is
you could obtain our latest drivers from the LSI download site, where
these drivers should have this patch
