Hi Max,

I just realized that I never tried your last suggestions. I will try them 
first thing when I get in to work tomorrow.

I have received some more info about this bug. It appears to be a timing 
issue. Here is the link to the bug at kernel.org with an interesting 
suggestion (that I have not tried): 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6921.

My company has inherited 5 racks of these compaq servers and it is very 
important that debian etch work well on them :)

Thanks for all the help,
Joshua Rubin

Hi Maks,

I tried linux-image-2.6.17-2-686_2.6.17-6_i386.deb from unstable and the 
problem still exists there.

I have attached the outputs of "lspci -vv" and "lspci -n".

Thanks,
Joshua Rubin

Bug#380272: kernel-image-2.6-686-smp: cpqarray module fails to detect arrays

[Joshua Rubin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 543 bytes --]

Hi Maks,

I have confirmed that loading cpqarray first fixes the problem on several 
systems now. I have also realized that when this is the case, the sym53c8xx 
driver is not needed or loaded. I thought this was noteworthy. It appears 
that your presumption was correct that the sym53c8xx and cpqarray modules do 
not play nicely.

Is this something that can be handled in the initramfs automatically instead 
of forcing everyone running these systems to update 
their /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file?

Thanks again!!!
Joshua

The problem is because they both claim support for the same PCI Ids:

cpqarray.c,
static const struct pci_device_id cpqarray_pci_device_id[] =
{
	....
        { PCI_VENDOR_ID_NCR, PCI_DEVICE_ID_NCR_53C1510,
                0x0E11, 0x4048, 0, 0, 0},       /* LC2 */
        { PCI_VENDOR_ID_NCR, PCI_DEVICE_ID_NCR_53C1510,
                0x0E11, 0x4040, 0, 0, 0},      /* Integrated Array */
	....
};

and sym53c8xx_2/sym_glue.c,
static struct pci_device_id sym2_id_table[] __devinitdata = {
	....
        { PCI_VENDOR_ID_LSI_LOGIC, PCI_DEVICE_ID_LSI_53C1510,
          PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0UL },
	....
        { PCI_VENDOR_ID_LSI_LOGIC, PCI_DEVICE_ID_NCR_53C1510,
          PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0UL }, /* new */
	....
};

More correctly, the problem is because sym2 is claiming support
for all devices with these PCI device/vendor id.

Can we get the output of lspci -v output from your machine?

If LSI was kind, the PCI class might be different between the two,
or some other clue might be there to differentiate them.

The easiest thing to do from the initramfs point of view is to simply
load cpqarray in preference to sym53c8xx.

Hi Maks,

I can confirm that removing floppy from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (which 
still causes a non-bootable system) and inserting cpqarray (which is the only 
uncommented module in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules) does in fact allow the 
system to boot.

I have attached the dmesg and lsmod.

Thanks again,
Joshua Rubin

ok, that pinpoints the "coupable"

quickly scanning 
http://bugs.debian.org/380272
i noticed that i forgot to ask you:
please test 2.6.17 from unstable.

is it reporducible there?

hmm kyle pointed out, i forgot to ask you vital info:
lspci info is missing in your bug info, please post
lscpi -vv

hello joshua,

thanks for your followups,
had time again to look at your bug report.

the trouble is quite shown in the troublesome dmesg and
in the working cat /proc/modules.

On Sun, 30 Jul 2006, Joshua Rubin wrote:

adding the floppy seems to kick sym53c8xx at loading later:

see sym53c8xx disables your interrupt for cpqarray.
try my theory and use instead of floppy:
echo cpqarray > /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
regenerate initramfs with update-initramfs -u.
plese post the resulting dmesg.

adding linux-scsi and Matthew Wilcox to cc.


best regards
