Problems with disks and CD-ROMs connected to non-Ultra2 controllers is
confirmed and I think my fix is just about done (currently testing a minor
sequencer change to solve the problem, I cleared SG_COUNT when I shouldn't
have, which meant disconnects in the middle of a transfer spelled death for
the transfer, resulting in a data overrun on reconnect, and this problem only
shows up on non-Ultra2 controllers under real transfers scenarios, which my
testing missed because I was using all Ultra2 controllers, so I built another
test machine with non-Ultra2 controllers to check my fix)

2001-02-07 Thread Tigran Aivazian

Alan, Doug,

If this is a known problem -- ignore. Otherwise, I will gladly assist as
much as you need.

Just tried ac5 kernel and, behold (btw, why does serial console not work
anymore, I had to copy these by hand):

(scsi0) BRKADRINT error(0x44):
  Illegal Opcode in sequencer program
  PCI Error detected
(scsi0)  SEQADDR=0x58
Kernel panic: aic7xxx: unrecoverable BRKADRINT

The Linux 2.4.2-pre1 works fine. Next thing I was thinking was to try ac4
and also to try on a different machine which has a different revision of
the same type of aic7xxx HBA.

Any more ideas?

Regards,
Tigran

[bug] aic7xxx panic Re: Linux 2.4.1-ac5

2001-02-07 Thread Tigran Aivazian

Alan, Doug,

If this is a known problem -- ignore. Otherwise, I will gladly assist as
much as you need.

Just tried ac5 kernel and, behold (btw, why does serial console not work
anymore, I had to copy these by hand):

(scsi0) BRKADRINT error(0x44):
  Illegal Opcode in sequencer program
  PCI Error detected
(scsi0)  SEQADDR=0x58
Kernel panic: aic7xxx: unrecoverable BRKADRINT

The Linux 2.4.2-pre1 works fine. Next thing I was thinking was to try ac4
and also to try on a different machine which has a different revision of
the same type of aic7xxx HBA.

Any more ideas?

Regards,
Tigran
