I'd love to hear anything you can come up with. What's the next step in
your boot process, ie what's the part that normally shows up but doesn't
with 2.4.2-ac12? Is this using IDE-SCSI, for example?
One thing that both 2.4.3-pre3 and -ac12 do is to not have allocate a
result buffer for TEST_UNIT_READY. I don't see why that should matter,
but can you try un-doing the patch to "scsi_error.c" and see if that
makes a difference. I'm worried about this report, and the buslogic
corruption thing..
Justin: there's another "2.4.3-pre2 corrupts all disks on a buslogic
controller" report. The interesting part is that 2.4.3-pre2 doesn't
actually contain any buslogic changes. The only generic-scsi changes
were yours. Ideas?
