There shouldn't be. 0x99 is actually not defined as a valid value for that field, but it is what the ibmvscsis VIOS that is included in SLES 9 and SLES 10 return on success, due to a bug in that driver. We plan to fix the ibmvscsis driver as well, but it will take a while for that fix to propagate. Until very recently, the status field was not checked, which is why we are only recently running into this problem. -Brian -- Brian King Linux on Power Virtualization IBM Linux Technology Center _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
