[sym2] Re: Problem with 2.6.14 and up...

[Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>]

Hi Jose, I was forwarded your bug report below.  It doesn't have quite
enough information in it for me to diagnose, but I have some suggestions
anyway ...

1. Can you send me your dmesg?  I want to see what devices these are and
   what transfer agreement they negotiate.
2. Can you try a later kernel?  If you have git, you can pull from
   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/willy/sym2.git
   otherwise http://www.parisc-linux.org/~willy/sym2-2.2.2.diff applies
   to a 2.6.15-rc1 kernel.
3. Can you try an earlier kernel?  It'd be interesting to know if, say,
   2.6.8 worked.
4. Can you try the sym2 driver in 2.4.32?  You'll have to say Y to
   "SYM53C8XX Version 2 SCSI support".
