            Bug ID: 62971
           Summary: Kernel 3.11.1 and higher does not boot on VMware VM
           Product: SCSI Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.11.1
          Hardware: i386
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: BUSLOGIC
          Assignee: scsi_drivers-buslogic@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: bojan@rexursive.com
        Regression: No

See downstream bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1015558

It seems that changes to BusLogic driver in 3.11 may have caused this problem.

An interesting link, including a patch, is here:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg69044.html

AFAICT, it has not been merged into mainline or stable yet.

PS. Note that I am not in a very good position to test, bisect etc., because I
do not control the VMware installation, only the Fedora guest OS. However,
there are folks in the downstream bug that can test.

--- Comment #1 from Bojan Smojver <bojan@rexursive.com> ---
That patch fixes commit 839cb99e8f748391059d10388c8aea48a88c142c, which seem to
have introduced the problem.
