Subject: [PATCH] 2.[46] Fix double reset in aic7xxx driver
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 15:20:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040712192059.GA7660@tsunami.ccur.com> (raw)
Fix occasional PCI bus parity errors on the Dell PowerEdge 4600 during
boot.
Symptoms: The LCD display would turn orange and display "PCI SYSTEM
E13F5", and the following message would appear in /var/log/dmesg:
"Uhhuh. NMI received. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue".
By inserting a PCI card with a PDC20268 IDE controller and attaching to
that a Sony DRU-510A DVD RW burner with an unloaded tray, the failure
can be made to happen on every boot.
Cause: The aic7xxx driver was resetting the onboard AIC7891 SCSI controller
while waiting for a previous reset to complete. This second reset confuses
the controller causing it to put bad data onto the PCI bus.
This is a backport of a RedHat 2.4.21-15.ELsmp fix. A letter discussing
this problem, or one very close to it, may be found at:
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2003-May/025010.html
Against 2.6.7 and 2.4.26.
Regards,
Joe
