Correct. James managed to isolate the problem to the Atlas drives too. Basically, the sym2 driver was trying to negotiate an invalid state. Most drives recognised it was invalid and rejected it, but the Atlas drives tried to obey it. Here's the patch to fix the problem: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=109311381603239&w=2 The patch James mentions that it depends on is: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=109305341428550&w=2 (and maybe the followup supplemental patch) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=109306123627231&w=2 -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
