           Summary: megraid_mbox kernel panic during st driver
                    initialization
           Product: IO/Storage
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.25
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: SCSI
        AssignedTo: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org
        ReportedBy: cshore@fionavar.ca


Latest working kernel version: 2.6.24

Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.26

Distribution: Debian Lenny (-testing + -unstable + kernel trunk for debian)

Hardware Environment: ASUS P4B 2.0 GHz P4 Motherboard, Dell PERC3/DC (like AMI
MegraRAID Elite 1600) LVD Ultra3 SCSI Adaptor with four 80 GB drives on Channel
0 and a SCSI-U2 Seagate DDS-4 tape drive on Channel 1
Software Environment:  Debian Lenny (up-to-date), with some unstable and tested
with the testing kernel (.25) and the trunk kernel (.26)

Problem Description: The kernel panics (claiming it's in the megaraid_mbox
driver) during boot when the st driver would normally report 

st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes.

This is after the logical disk has been found and all filesystems mounted, so
the RAID part of the driver is probably fine.


The point at which 

st 0:1:6:0: Attached scsi tape st0
st 0:1:6:0: st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B)

appears with .24 is passed before the panic, but I haven't actually seen those
messages as they scroll by too quickly.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install debian lenny with a .24 kernel (I'm not sure how you would do that
now that .24 is no longer the testing kernel); maybe beta2 would still let you.
2) Install -testing kernel (.25)
3) Attempt to boot using the new kernel
4) Kernel panics, system is unusable
