These lockups and SCSI troubles seem interrupt related - your image is showing the ESP as having done a successful reconnect after a disconnect in the previous interrupt, and from the hw reread it seems a BUS SERVICE interrupt is showing (which is apparently not picked up, hence the aborted command). HW reread should never have an interrupt showing. This happens because there's a bug in the handling of VIA interrupts which may cause ESP SCSI interrupts to be missed. Finn and me debugged this back in september 2004. You probably need the following patch from Finn Thain: [PATCH] m68k mac VIA2 fixes and cleanups http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-m68k&m=113923540116280&w=2 It must have slipped through. Finn, do you want me to commit this patch to the Linux/m68k CVS repository? Kind regards, Kars. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
