(was: Re: aic7xxx errors) In-Reply-To: <200109072337.f87NbPY92715@aslan.scsiguy.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Okay, I tested it today, compiled 2.4.9ac10 with the new driver and TCQ set to 32. I built the driver as a module to make sure that the machine at least boots into runlevel 3 (I have no console access, only access to the reset switch). I rebooted and inserted the driver with 'modprobe aic7xxx', remembered that I forgot the verbose flag, removed the driver with 'modprobe -r' and re-inserted it with 'modprobe aic7xxx aic7xxx=verbose'. The machine was still alive then. But right after entering 'raidhotadd /dev/md1 /dev/sda1' the machine hung. reiserfs erased the last lines of /var/log/messages, but AFAIK the verbose driver output showed no errors. But how can I help to reproduce the error? Of course I could break the mirror, compile the driver into the kernel (non-module) and do some stress test on the SCSI drive. But it's not so good when I drive this machine into a hang too often. I compiled the old driver now, also with TCQ set to 32, and the machine seems to work fine. Olaf
