[Fwd: New driver aacraid-1.1.5.2391 for kernels 2.4.x problem.]

2005-04-01 Thread Konstantin Khorenko
Hello! It seems to me that card initialization is broken in new driver aacraid-1.1.5.2391. The problem arises on Linux kernels 2.4.x, if the driver is compiled into the kernel. In that case kernel doesn't find root device to mount, if it locates on a disk, connected to adaptec scsi controller. (

Hello, Eric. Hello, James. I've been working on new SCSI state model and was checking on scsi_device_online() users. As the state model is going to change, I need to audit device state usages in lldd's and I'm having difficult time understanding why scsi_device_online() is used in mptscsih.
