Kernel 2.6.x hangs with Symbios Logic 53c1010 Ultra3 SCSI Adapter

[Thomas Babut <thomas@babut.net>]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run a Kernel 2.6 on the following machine:

Debian Sarge 3.1 with newest updates
gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-13)

Dual Pentium III at 1000 MHz with 1 GByte RAM and Quantum ATLAS10K2-TY367J

Output from lspci:

On boot it hangs with following messages:

At this point only a hard-reset helps.

With Kernel 2.4.26 and 2.4.27 it runs without any problems. I've tried 
almost every Kernel 2.6:
2.6.5 (vanilla), 2.6.9 (vanilla), 2.6.10-rc1-bk13, 2.6.10-rc1-mm2, 2.6.8 
(Debian Sources), 2.6.9 (Debian Sources)

It seems that this problem is not new or not unknown, but I didn't find 
a solution yet.

Best Regards,
Thomas
