Hello,
I sent this message here because I don't where to send it!
Please redirect this message or read it if you can help
(I feel like talking with some kind of a god!)
There is the bug report. I hope it is completely clear and
understandable.
Don't blame me for any grammar or spelling things, Sheakspire's language
isn't my cup of tea, but it seems to be a universal language.
:-)
Don't be affraid to reply me, I won't blame anyone.
[1.] One line summary of the problem: aic7xxx driver fails to
scan/probe? a hard drive
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
During the boot up, when the scsi card is being initialized (an adaptec
19160B one) a hard drive (an IBM 9.1 GB 10krpm one) fails to load : the
following message was printed on the screen :
Unexpected busfree while idle
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): kernel : aic7xxx
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version) :
Linux version 2.4.22 (root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (version gcc 3.2.3

[5.] Output of Oops : no Oops :-)
[6.] A small shell script :
Sorry but this problem isn't linked to any program/application, it
happened during boot up, before the prompt.

[7.1.] Software :
If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

[7.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root):
no lspci on my system...
:-(
[7.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi)
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: QUANTUM Model: ATLAS10K3_36_WLS Rev: 020K
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
Vendor: YAMAHA Model: CRW6416S Rev: 1.0d
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
[7.7.] Other information :
We should see at 7.6 one more device looking something like that:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: IBM Model: DDYS-T09170N Rev: xxxx
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: xx
(replacing x's by the appripriate values, I don't remember them)
Which is weird, is the fact that the same thing happened first with
gentoo sources of kernel 2.4.20-gentoo... Then I decided to get the
sources from kernel.org 2.4.21 it worked great! Then 2.4.22 went out
I downloaded it and installed and then, exactly the same error!
I will now shutdown my computer and check for any plugging error
(i.e. scsi id's or something)
I will also check adaptec website for any firmware update.
And then I'll try to get the full verbose output from the kernel
during next boot up
Finally I will send this e-mail.
I checked everything and used Adaptec SCSI Select(TM) utilities to
do a scandisk on each devices but the same error applies.
In addition, I quote the output on the screen during boot and it says
the following:
scsi0: Unexpected busfree while idle
SEQADDR ==0x1
May be this can help?
For now, I well replaces the source subtree aic7xxx in the
2.4.22/drivers/scsi
by the one in 2.4.21/drivers/scsi to see if the problem is there...
I'll post the e-mail message later.
I did the replacement and built a knew kernel image. It works with the
older aic7xxx subtree (present in 2.4.21) and everything seems alright.
I will send this e-mail message know. I hope it will help. At least I
would be glade If someone could explain me what's going wrong and better
if a patch could published.
