Hi there,
I've got another independent report confirming the same problem as
described below [oh, sorry for top-posting. I included the original
email for reference].
This time it's from Ivan Jager (Cc'ed) using sym53c8xx on SPARC and he's
experiencing the same problem as I did on PARISC. Here is his report:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2010/11/msg00002.html
It all boils down to scsi_wait_scan.ko not waiting for sym53c8xx.ko to
do its work. Verified on 2.6.32, 2.6.35 and 2.6.36. It may or may not be
relevant that both SPARC and PARISC are 64bit big-endian architectures.
This is a lspci -v output from my parisc system:

Same controller, same driver, same problem - scsi_wait_scan doesn't wait.
Can somebody have a look at it please?
I've got a spare parisc box where I can test any patches if that helps.
Cheers,
Michal

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with 2.6.36-rc8+ on HP PARISC machine (HP 9000
RP3410) where I intend to wait for SCSI enumeration during boot before
LVM2 kicks in and attempts to activate the root volume. I modprobe
scsi_wait_scan in the initramdisk before lvm2 script is run. However
the modprobe doesn't wait. I'm on Debian testing, fwiw.

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/lethal-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Apparently /dev/sda and /dev/sdb were discovered long after
scsi_wait_scan was loaded.
Here are the relevant modules:
[...]

jbd 63990 1 ext3
dm_mod 112954 9
scsi_wait_scan 983 0
zalon7xx 38131 0

scsi_mod 193802 7
libata,zalon7xx,lasi700,53c700,sd_mod,sym53c8xx,scsi_transport_spi
When I unset CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC it works just fine and all the
disks are found in time for LVM.
Is that a bug in the SCSI driver? Or am I doing something wrong? It's
not a recent regression, at least 2.6.35 behaves the same on that
machine.
Thanks!
Michal
