Hi! Unfortunately my english is very bad, but i'll do my best :-). A few days ago I've updated my linux-system from 2.0.36 to kernel 2.2.14. It was done because I hoped to get rid of the problems with my aha152x and the Mustek scanner. During scanning the system is unuseable. Even while the lamp-warmup time, where nearly no data should be transfered. But with 2.2.14 it is still the same and an even more worse problem with my HP DDS-1 (1534A) tape drive which is connected to an aic7xxx together with several scsi disks occurs: I don't know what the noise produced by the drive means exactly but it's completly different to the noise during operation with kernel 2.0.36. Reading and writing seems to work but strange things are happening: during write operation of 1GB Data the drive rewinds (or wind to the end) the tape several times and back again. The /dev/nst0 device rewinds the tape at the end of every read or write operation althought the right minor number is set for non-rewinding operation. And when using dds2tar the drive gets totally crazy: It really sounds like it would space forward at high speed, stop after a few seconds imediatly instead of slowdown and so the tape wheels are still rotating a few turns and leave the tape without tension. Then again after a few secons the drive starts winding forward at high speed, but when the unwinded tape gets retension it produces a rather hard sound and only one second after it stops again. If I don't eject the cartridge, this continues until the end of the Tape. Attention: I haven't seen this yet. It's only a "sound-diagnostic". But at least a so treated tape is unuseable. So it might be true. First i thought my drive is broken. But using kernel 2.0.36 again everything is fine. Are this things known already? Should I provide further debuging output (althought a first look at syslog shows no errors)? Is there a fix or workaround? Either for the aha152x or the tape driver? I would be really glad!! thanks!! bye... Klaus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
