Sym53c8xx in 2.3.now

Sym53c8xx in 2.3.now

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

Anybody who has the sym53c8xx or ncr53c8xx driver working with the latest 2.3.x kernels?

I get:

| sym53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
| sym53c8xx: setting PCI_COMMAND_IO PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY...
| sym53c8xx: setting PCI_COMMAND_MASTER PCI_COMMAND_PARITY...(fix-up)

| sym53c8xx_abort: pid=0 serial_number=1 serial_number_at_timeout=1

And then the system hangs in a wait loop...

My devices (from 2.3.6 dmesg):

Disabling sym53c8xx and using ncr53c8xx instead doesn't fix the problem.

Geert,

You should post your message on the linux-scsi list server. Gerard, who
wrote the driver listens in on that list.

  send to linux-scsi@vger.rutgers.edu

I already did more than a week ago. No response.

I'm starting to think that the problem is related to interrupts. I also get one
or two messages `Keyboard timeout[2]', and the keyboard (PS/2) doesn't seem to
work (Caps Lock doesn't toggle the Caps Lock LED).

Besides, things are getting worse. For the current vger kernel, I needed this
patch to make it compile:

Index: include/asm-ppc/serial.h

 /*

And now my serial console is scrambled after the serial port init :-(
