Subject: 2.6.0 and VMWare Buslogic Error?
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2003 15:00:27 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200312241500.27156.eric@cisu.net> (raw)
Hello,
When booting the linux kernel 2.6.0 (and since 2.6.0-test9 when I started
using 2.6) I am not sure if I get it using 2.4 However my vague memory says
no.. I get this message on startup. I am using VMWare Workstation 4.0.5 build
6030.

I have been running my VMMachines for a while now so I dont think theres a
huge problem. But should I be worried? Am I just lucky my data hasnt been
corrupted by this unsafe mode? Is this being fixed in a future version or
2.6? Would you like more debugging info to support this variant of the
Buslogic controller better?
Just a curios side-note... what the HECK are mailboxes relating to this scsi
driver?! I know what most of the other parameters are, but I cant figure out
what a mailbox could be in a scsi driver.
I am on the LKML, however I prefer to have replies CC'd to me. I notice them
MUCH faster.
