I'm testing an Adaptec SCSI controller + an IBM drive. All the things
used to be fine before I had made the low-level format of the drive
(thru the Ctrl-A Adaptec's menu). And now after

modprobe aic7xxx

I have:

scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
<Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs

The message

scsi0:A:0:0: DV failed to configure device. Please file a bug report against this driver.

had never appeared before the low-level format. But it seems that
after the format the drive still works fine.

So, what does this message mean? And can I just ignore it?

Some additional info: it's the PCI64 card installed in a 32-bit PCI
slot, Domain Validation is turned on thru the Adaptec BIOS setup.

Thanks in advance.
