Re: difficulty connecting to SAN storage with qlogic 2200

[Jim Jarocki <jarocki@startribune.com>]

getting closer.  my initial problem seemed to be on the san disk side. 
but i'm not quite there yet.   i'm getting this in my dmesg:

SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
qlogicfc0 : Loop Reinitialized

and this is what i'm seeing in my /var/log/messages file:

Jan  5 15:14:04 ptah kernel: qla2x00_set_info starts at address = f014f060

Jan  5 15:14:04 ptah kernel: qla2x00: couldn't configure PCI I/O space!

and a:

cfdisk -z /dev/sda

results in:

                     FATAL ERROR: Cannot read disk drive
                          Press any key to exit cfdisk

and exits with a status of 2, indicating an IO error.


i'm not exactly sure where to go from here.  i have very little experience 
with drives in a linux environment.  is there something obvious that i'm 
missing?

also, anyone have a pointer to a doc describing how to add a disk?
