The RAID card in question has reported an "SPD CheckSum Error" (bad ram?) during system power on so it's looking like this is probably a hardware or firmware problem and not a driver issue. -J -- On Tue, Apr 03, 2007 at 08:45:38AM -0700, Randy Dunlap wrote: > On Mon, 2 Apr 2007 17:21:35 -1000 Jos

PATCH 3/3 Set rq->errors more correctly in cciss driver. Previously we had set it synonymously with the meaning of the last parameter of end_that_last_request and complete_buffers (the "uptodate" parameter) and had gotten away with it for all this time because nobody ever looked at rq->errors. S

Disk spin up with esp on Sparc

Hi, I've noticed something strange as I've build and tested vanilla 2.6.20.3 for my Sparc Ultra-2: one of my hard disks wasn't spinning up. It was jumpered in a way where it would require a host command for spinning up. This ran OK with 2.6.14, which I had on that box before, though. [SMP kernel,

scsi_set_tag_type()

2007-04-10 Thread David Miller
I don't believe this function behaves as some call sites intend. For example, if the driver implements the ->change_queue_type() method, and I say to use simple tags in sysfs, and sdev->ordered_tags is already set, I am not going to get simple tags since sdev->ordered_tags will stay set and scsi_
