Bug#381994: linux-image-2.6.16-17: SCSI storage controller: BusLogic BT-946C doesn't work
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-17
Severity: normal
I have a BusLogic BT-946C scsi controller. lspci -v:
0000:00:10.0 SCSI storage controller: BusLogic BT-946C (BA80C30)
[MultiMaster 10] (rev 08)
My system is installed on my scsi harddrives. Testing's and unstable's
newest kernels fail to mount / with messages:
scsi0: BusLogic BT-958 Initialized Succesfully
sd 0:0:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery
sd 0:0:010: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery
The initialization runs multiple times, with the first one having more
information and latter ones with just that one line. Weird thing is,
that Etch netinst cd works just fine. I was able to install the system
with no hitches, only after booting to the system it fails.
I managed to test the newest kernel form unstable by booting Knoppix
(which works...), chrooting and dpkg -i:ng the kernel deb, but it fails
with the same messages ending in busybox. Sarge's 2.6.8 works too.
The install cd's dmesg shows the controller initialization only once,
it's almost like it would constantly turn on/off with the kernels that
won't work.
