I have reported my problems also to linux-scsi, where Mark Bottomly very quickly diagnosed that I must have a hardware problem (i.e., wide is not working, although it should), but that the newer kernels do not handle the situation correctly. I post links to the relevant thread(s) and attach the patch Mark sent to linux-scsi.
I could compile a kernel based on the gutsy sources, linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-12.36_all.deb. The patch applies cleanly, and the machine boots, reducing the SCSI speed to 40MHz as it should in the case of failing wide negotion. Here are the threads: http://marc.info/?t=119029481600004&r=1&w=2 (my original report plus helpful replies) http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=119046843406121&w=2 (the patch, which I'll also attach!) All credits to Mark Bottomly!!! I want to add that the gutsy based 2.6.22 kernel gives me the device-mapper syslog messages and mount problems reported in Bug #119315 in udev (Ubuntu). As described there, removing all evms packages cures the problem, but seems a bit "overkill" to me (even though I don't use it ..) ** Attachment added: "revised handling of domain validation (by James Bottomly)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9475747/aic79xx.patch -- aic79xx module crashes: Install of Gutsy (Tribe 5) and Feisty fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
