  Hi there,

I'm having a problem with 2.6.36-rc8+ on HP PARISC machine (HP 9000 
RP3410) where I intend to wait for SCSI enumeration during boot before 
LVM2 kicks in and attempts to activate the root volume. I modprobe 
scsi_wait_scan in the initramdisk before lvm2 script is run. However the 
modprobe doesn't wait. I'm on Debian testing, fwiw.

Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
  - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
    - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
    - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
  - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT!  /dev/mapper/lethal-root does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!

Apparently /dev/sda and /dev/sdb were discovered long after 
scsi_wait_scan was loaded.

Here are the relevant modules:
[...]
ext3                  203543  2
jbd                    63990  1 ext3

sd_mod                 49383  3
crc_t10dif              1564  1 sd_mod

scsi_transport_spi     34731  3 zalon7xx,53c700,sym53c8xx
scsi_mod              193802  7 
libata,zalon7xx,lasi700,53c700,sd_mod,sym53c8xx,scsi_transport_spi

When I unset CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC it works just fine and all the disks 
are found in time for LVM.

Is that a bug in the SCSI driver? Or am I doing something wrong? It's 
not a recent regression, at least 2.6.35 behaves the same on that machine.

Thanks!

Michal

  Hi there,

I've got another independent report confirming the same problem as 
described below [oh, sorry for top-posting. I included the original 
email for reference].

This time it's from Ivan Jager (Cc'ed) using sym53c8xx on SPARC and he's 
experiencing the same problem as I did on PARISC. Here is his report: 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2010/11/msg00002.html

It all boils down to scsi_wait_scan.ko not waiting for sym53c8xx.ko to 
do its work. Verified on 2.6.32, 2.6.35 and 2.6.36. It may or may not be 
relevant that both SPARC and PARISC are 64bit big-endian architectures.

This is a lspci -v output from my parisc system:
20:01.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1010 
66MHz  Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (rev 01)
         Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 
LSI53C1000/1000R/1010R/1010-66 PCI to Ultra160 SCSI
             Controller

         Memory at ffffffff90012000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
         Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
         Kernel driver in use: sym53c8xx

And this is Ivan's sparc system:
0002:00:02.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1010 
66MHz Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (rev 01)
      Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 
LSI53C1000/1000R/1010R/1010-66 PCI to Ultra160 SCSI
            Controller
      Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 27
      I/O ports at 0900 [size=256]
      Memory at 00100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
      Memory at 00102000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

[size=1]
      [virtual] Expansion ROM at fffff83100000000 [disabled] [size=1]
      Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
      Kernel driver in use: sym53c8xx

Same controller, same driver, same problem - scsi_wait_scan doesn't wait.

Can somebody have a look at it please?

I've got a spare parisc box where I can test any patches if that helps.

Cheers,

Michal
