Hi there,
unfortunately, after getting lots of reports about success with the Tekram
DC395x (TRM-S1040) SCSI driver version 1.26, I also got some reports about
bad failures.
Despite spending some time on investigation of those, I could not reproduce
them. Maybe something related to special behaviour of some devices in some
circumstances, that I happen to not own ..
Anyway, I do have a guess what caused this problem and I changed the
relevant lines in the code. It does not make a difference on my system, but
there was also no problem with 1.26.
I did release 1.27 today, which has this change and some minor cleanups. The
2.3. compilation bug (typo), e.g., is fixed.
I did try once more to workaround a strange behaviour in the chip on
arbitrating a busy bus, but did fail to do so successfully, so this fetaure
got disabled again.
I'd like to get some feedback from those who had trouble or success before.
Does 1.27 change anything for you?
In the best case, there remain no serious bug reports, so I could get the
driver in the main kernel, which I intended some time ago, already. After a
little cleanup, to say.
