Should I send a bug report to him or is he online here?

Kernel version is 2.4.20 (Redhat 9.0 + newest upgrade)

The oops and the panic logs were not written down as the major focus
was getting this (production) system up and running, sorry for that

Um, if he's around, he'll see it, although ISTR that he's away
for awhile (like 6 weeks ?).

Well, unless someone happens to know something about your exact
reported problem....
in general, you will get better help/responses the better your
problem reports are (IMHO).

Perfectly realize that. Found one report of the exact same problem

Is your oops/panic like this one?

mptscsih_qcmd is in the Fusion MPT driver.
Looks like it is having problems with a scatter-gather list
(actually with PCI mapping of it).
I can't tell if the Fusion driver begins the problem or if
sg begins it and passes it along.

Can you try a current 2.4.22 kernel?  This driver has been updated
some since 2.4.20.  I don't know that this bug is fixed, however.

If you get this bug again, please run the logged text thru ksymoops
so that it is more usable.

What makes the kernel "Tainted"?

Yep, at least from sg_ioctl down.

Our driver is the aic7xxx, the board is an Adaptec 19160.

Not until Redhat compiles one, as we don't want to use anything
not Redhat for this installation.

Yes, and we will also try to capture "our" oops this time.
Coming to think about it, it is probably logged somewhere...
Not the successive Panic, but the oops should be there. I will investigate
a bit..

> What makes the kernel "Tainted"?

Our kernel is a stock Redhat 9.0 kernel and shouldn't be tainted.

Then you really should be taking these problems up with Red Hat,
not with us.

So you mean that this bug is squished in 2.4.22 then? 

Anyway I got an oops-trace ran through ksymoops by the
customer and here is the result (If anyone is interested anymore....)

ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.4.20-20.9.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/ (default)
     -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

Not necessarily.  Red Hat's kernels contain a lot of customisations and
changes versus the stock Linux tree.  It's almost impossible for us to
debug problems in Red Hat's kernel.  It's possible (though unlikely)
the bug was even introduced by Red Hat.

In any case, if you need a Red Hat supplied kernel, you need to work
with Red Hat.  There's really no way around that.

Dag,
I presume the hp_ltt program is controlling a tape
robot. hp_ltt sent a command to sg which passed it
through the mid level to the aic7xxx driver which
crashed. Hard to say why.

New aic7xxx drivers can be found at:
    http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux
At the bottom of that page are newer rpms for RedHat 9
(than distributed by redhat).

Thanks for this response, this is of the kind that could
be useful.

hp_ltt is a utility from HP to control their tapedrives,
ie. update firmware, diagnostic functions and so on.

The strange thing is that the URL I gave earlier in this thread 
would indicate the same behaviour with a completely
different SCSI-driver....

Thanks for that, I could try this out at some point.
Now the update of the tapedrive could be done by adding mem=512M
to the boot line, running the firmware update and then reboot again wo.
the memory limit.
So this was meant more like a report that something is wrong in there.
