The driver in 2.1.108 had problems when compiled with recent EGCS and
PGCC, and a patch I sent Linus should fix the problem. But a stray patch
that intended to fix-up some #if'ed 0 defines that I intended to remove
from the code has been applied instead, conflicting with my patches series.
The problem that was reported with EGCS/PGCC was different from yours.
The driver was not able to complete IOs and so the device detection
was not possible.
Could you first apply the following patch to your 2.1.109 kernel:
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/roudier/ncr53c8xx-3.0e-to-3.0g-for-2.1.109.patch.gz
If the patch does not fix the problem, you may just disconnect the CD/ROM
from the SCSI BUS and see what happens then.
Let me know if either the patch or removing the CD/ROM from the BUS
makes differences.
Regards,
Gerard.
