Subject: linux-image-2.6.12-1-386: Module sym53c8xx: "phase change" messages on Iomega ZIP drive Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-386 Version: 2.6.12-10 Severity: normal
As soon as during the boot procedure my Iomega SCSI ZIP drive is recognized I get the following message onto the console: sd 0:0:5:0 phase change 6-7 [EMAIL PROTECTED] resid=7. (the number [EMAIL PROTECTED] is different after each booting of the machine) This message is written about 5-10 times per second onto the console making working with it almost impossible. This was especially a problem during installation of the system. Inserting a disk into the ZIP drive improves the situation slightly: The amount of messages drops to about 1 per second - still too much. Despite of the messages, access to such a disk works correctly. Booting the machine with the ZIP drive powered off does not give the message. I located the above message in the linux kernel files: - /usr/src/linux-2.6-2.6.12/drivers/scsi/ncr53c8xx.c - /usr/src/linux-2.6-2.6.12/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym_hipd.c This bug seems to be closely related to #303088 Here is the relevant part of /var/log/messages: Dec 4 08:32:17 df8xq-l2 kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 0000:00:13.0 Dec 4 08:32:17 df8xq-l2 kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 0000:00:11.2 Dec 4 08:32:17 df8xq-l2 kernel: sym0: <875> rev 0x4 at pci 0000:00:13.0 irq 9 Dec 4 08:32:17 df8xq-l2 kernel: sym0: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking Dec 4 08:32:17 df8xq-l2 kernel: sym0: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM Dec 4 08:32:17 df8xq-l2 kernel: sym0: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware.
