[SCSI] Driver Broken in 2.6.x (attemp 2)

2005-04-05 Thread |TEcHNO|
Hi, This is my second attemp to make anyone notice the bug that is in the 2.6.x tree. While many people tried to put blame on nvidia, here's a log that shows that it's purely kernel fault not to work. At the end of this mail you can find some logs which show how 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels work

Hi, I don't think anyone has the actual hardware, without which it's quite difficult to fix the problem. What was the last 2.6 kernel version that this worked with? I guess I made a jump from 2.4.26 directly to 2.6.9 or maybe even higher, but I can't remember if I used the scanner since then,

Ok fine - This fix is already there in the series of patches I provided a week ago for splitting the mpt fusion drivers into seperate bus type drivers. James any word on whether those series of patches will get approved? In addition, Steve Ralston is no longer working in this group. No need to
