I'm not familiar with that driver (and not very familiar with SCSI, really) but if your drive is working, I would presume that that is a debug message that was accidentally compiled into the AMD driver. Assuming that's correct, what I would do is: 1. If you're not running kernel 2.0.29 or 2.0.30, upgrade to one of them. (I'm running 2.0.30 without problems, but I hear some people have issues with that version.) The problem may just go away with a correctly-compiled kernel, and there are bugfixes in those versions. 2. If it still shows up after that, take a look at the driver code itself - I don't have my Linux box handy, but it ought to be in the kernel sources under drivers/scsi, with a filename like "amdsomething.c". Look for a message like the above. There's probably a broken "#ifdef" around it. After that, recompile the kernel. (You probably want to "make zdisk" to try it from a boot floppy first.) Hope this helps...
