It triggered two scsi bugs. The first (a > warning) is being fixed. I don't know if the second has been fixed. I'm not sure if its only a sata problem, I saw several of other oopses,= one=20 was related to Firewire/scsi (ok, could be a consequence of the previou= s sata=20 problem), one came from bluesmoke (external patch) and some of them I=20 couldn't associate to anything (but those I couldn't also capture via=20 netconsole). > > Can you test 2.6.15? > Sure, I will test 2.6.15 this evening. I will also enable most debuggin= g=20 information for this testkernel, ok? Thanks, Bernd PS: For production we unfortunately can't use 2.6.15 - reiserfs trouble= (well,=20 I could try to revert commit 5fa8ad644faa114c4190484ac50e15236fc7cdd9, = but=20 I'm still waiting for an offical statement of the reiserfs poeple) and=20 Win4Lin patches are available up to 2.6.14 only (its the PC of our secr= etary=20 and she really wouldn't like that ;) ). --=20 Bernd Schubert PCI / Theoretische Chemie Universit=E4t Heidelberg INF 229 69120 Heidelberg - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
