HI James, I got some idea about fusion driver from this link http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12195 And i found there is bug in fusion driver (kernel version 2.6.10) from this link http://www.nabble.com/MPT-fusion-driver,-better-but-still-buggy-at-errors-handling-under-2.6-td1095505.html On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 10:54 AM, linux linux <linux.tina@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi James,. > Now it should be received by all... > Many many thanks for the help. > > I am sending the kernel log. > > > On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 9:51 AM, James Bottomley > <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> You still need to turn off html email attachments, otherwise your >> messages won't be accepted by the mailing lists.

But as describe into the above link(http://www.nabble.com/MPT-fusion-driver,-better-but-still-buggy-at-errors-handling-under-2.6-td1095505.html) that 2.6.xx xx <= 11, enters an infinit loop attempting to reset the SCSI so the box gets unusable and requires a rough power cycle to recover. So i think that is the reason to restart the server(after "Attempting host reset! )as a power cycle is required to recover. when next time server was booting i got some kernel messages on recovery of SCSI. So recovery is done after reboot the server. Still i do not know how to over come this bug fo infinite loop.
