I can generate the following panic in scsi.c at will using a CD media
changer - Nakamichi MBR-7.
Happens with kernel versions 2.0.35 and 2.0.36-pre6. I haven't checked any
others.
Attempt to allocate device channel 0, target 6, lun x
Kernel Panic: No Device found in allocate_device().
If I start the following two commands running in different vc's
dd if=/dev/scdX of=/dev/null (X = 1, 2 ...)
dd if=/dev/scdY of=/dev/null (Y = 0, 1 ...)
and the second one started has Y < X I get the panic.
eg
dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/null - starting this first
dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/dev/null - then starting this
generates the panic. Starting scd0 first and then scd1 is OK - but very
sloooooow as its spending most of the time changing CDs;)
I guess the panic is caused by the call to allocate_device from
do_sr_request in sr.c but don't know why.
Anyone figure it out?
