At this stage, that's unclear (to me). It could be that g_NCR5380.c is not broken. It could be that the core driver can't handle certain targets. I think we need to do more testing. -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
