sym53c8xx_2 version 2.1.18j domain validation failures (was Re: Sym53c8xx_2)

[Lance Dryden <lance@jound.net>]

Apologies for the late reply.

What I have found is that only my Quantum Atlas disks seem to have the 
problem with domain validation at boot-up.

My results are below.  The first test was successful, the second was 
not.  Both host adapters were installed and enumerated by the kernel in 
the order listed.  Kernel was 2.6.8.1 from kernel.org.

=== BEGIN TEST 1 ===
53c895
- 2x Quantum Atlas V
- 1x Ecrix VXA-1
53c1010
- 1x Compaq OEM device
- 1x Plextor
Status: Successful DV, all devices

=== BEGIN TEST 2 ===
53c895
- 1x Atlas
- 1x Ecrix
53c1010
- 1x Atlas
- 1x Compaq
- 1x Plextor
Status: UNSUCCESSFUL DV against
- Vendor:"QUANTUM" Model:"ATLAS_V_18_WLS" Rev:"0200"

I wonder if anyone around can test with some more Quantum Atlas drives 
against a 53c1010.

   Cheers,
