Is Doug Ledford's note to the list on May 1 saying to use the
"aic7xxx=verbose:0xff29" command line option incorrect?
This command caused a kernel panic when I tried to boot with it. I
believe this is because there is no corresponding 0xff29 definition in
the aic7xx driver. The README.aic7xxx says to look at the aic7xxx.c for
various verbose options, none of which lists "0xff29". The full list is:
#define VERBOSE_NORMAL 0x0000
#define VERBOSE_NEGOTIATION 0x0001
#define VERBOSE_SEQINT 0x0002
#define VERBOSE_SCSIINT 0x0004
#define VERBOSE_PROBE 0x0008
#define VERBOSE_PROBE2 0x0010
#define VERBOSE_NEGOTIATION2 0x0020
#define VERBOSE_MINOR_ERROR 0x0040
#define VERBOSE_TRACING 0x0080
#define VERBOSE_ABORT 0x0f00
#define VERBOSE_ABORT_MID 0x0100
#define VERBOSE_ABORT_FIND 0x0200
#define VERBOSE_ABORT_PROCESS 0x0400
#define VERBOSE_ABORT_RETURN 0x0800
#define VERBOSE_RESET 0xf000
#define VERBOSE_RESET_MID 0x1000
#define VERBOSE_RESET_FIND 0x2000
#define VERBOSE_RESET_PROCESS 0x4000
#define VERBOSE_RESET_RETURN 0x8000
Ledford's note says, basically, that anyone with bugs that hang a system
temporarily (1+minutes) and where a number of other other potential
issues prove not to be the problem, should:
> modify their system startup so that they can pass the startup up
> option aic7xxx=verbose:0xff29 to the aic7xxx driver (if the driver
> is compiled directly into the kernel then adding this to the lilo
> append line is sufficient, if the driver is a module then this
> needs to be added to the module options for the aic7xxx module).
> Then, they need to get me the messages that this produces so I can
> start looking into the issue.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions (I e-mailed Mr. Leford May 16 on
this, but received no response).
Thanks in advance,
