Hello, After one year of rest, I resurrect my old computer, install a 2.6.21 kernel and updated my Debian distro. Tree things to repport: First, a cosmetic thing: I have two scsi sync devices and two async devices. For the first ones, domain validation return the negociated speed and mode. For the second ones, domain validation return nothing. I expect it is just a 'missing feature' but that all went ok. I am right ? scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> aic7890/91: Ultra2 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access IBM DMVS18V 02B0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 3 scsi0:A:0:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.

At some point in time (not really regular), I get this in my logs: May 23 00:45:44 rafale kernel: (scsi0:A:4:0): No or incomplete CDB sent to device. May 23 00:45:44 rafale kernel: (scsi0:A:4:0): Protocol violation in Message-in phase. Attempting to abort. May 23 00:45:44 rafale kernel: (scsi0:A:4:0): Abort Message Sent May 23 00:45:44 rafale kernel: (scsi0:A:4:0): SCB 11 - Abort Completed. And sometimes (but seem related to problems with my cable): May 23 04:32:49 rafale kernel: (scsi0:A:4:0): parity error detected in Status phase. SEQADDR(0xad) SCSIRATE(0x0) May 23 05:13:03 rafale kernel: (scsi0:A:4:0): parity error detected in Status phase. SEQADDR(0xac) SCSIRATE(0x0) There is no scsi bus freeze, and the device work perfectly without generating other errors. DV problem ? Bad hal daemon interaction ? Defect in the driver trigged by bad hal daemon behavior ? Last thing, a now two years problem: cdrwtools -d /dev/sr0 -q still instantly crash the scsibus/cdwriter and the driver never recover. I did not have a new log because of the complete bus crash. Have you new ideas about this problem ?? I will try: - to get a log on a usb key - to port patch from Bugzilla Bug 5921 to current kernel. With the previous ones, the driver recover. (but i was experiencing FS corruption but it seems it was not related). - to identify exactly what cdrwtools send to the kernel/driver which cause the crash. If some scsi experts have a clue, I am taking. Thank you all, Best regards, Emmanuel. --- Créez votre adresse électronique prenom.nom@xxxxxxxxxxx 1 Go d'espace de stockage, anti-spam et anti-virus intégrés. - 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
