[BUG] DVD assigned wrong SCSI level when using SCSI emulation

[Alex Davis]

I've noticed that since I upgraded to 2.6.15, my IDE DVD ROM
is assigned a bogus SCSI level. Here is output from /proc/scsi/scsi:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVD-ROM GDR8082N Rev: 0106
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 0xffffffff


Here's what I get with 2.6.8.1:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVD-ROM GDR8082N Rev: 0106
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02



I did a little digging, and it seems that in drivers/scsi/sr.c,
function get_capabilities(), the call to scsi_mode_sense() is failing (it's returning 134217730). 

On a side note, I can't watch DVDs on 2.6.15.

I have ide-scsi and sr-mod loaded as modules.
gcc version is 3.3.6

Here is the config for 2.6.8.1 : http://linux.ace-technologies.biz/config-2.6.8.1

Here is the config for 2.6.15: http://linux.ace-technologies.biz/config-2.6.15

I've tried booting with hdc=scsi; makes no difference.

Here's an excerpt from /var/log/messages:

I've seen this same phenomena in the dmesg output of another posting on this list.


I can test patches if needed. 

Additional info will be provided upon request.
