Cute error message but it appears just before my machine
locks solid. It looks like it is coming from a LSI 53c1030
SPI controller which lspci says is PCI-X but is actually
PCIe.
I get that with 2 different tape drives (LTO-1 and LTO-3)
whose true identities are hidden behind badge engineering,
Tandberg data perhaps? Anyway both seem to have a major
problem with the LOG SENSE command and the Tape Alert
page in particular.
The lockup occurs with both a Debian Lenny standard kernel
(lk 2.6.26-2-686) and a kernel.org lk 2.6.30 .
There is nothing other than the 53c1030 and a single tape
drive on the SCSI bus. So there is no good reason to lock
up the machine for any SCSI related error.
