SparcStorage Array A5000

[srtsmn@inwind.it (Simone)]

Hi,
I would like to use an SparcStorage Array A5000 with my Debian 
Sparc Ultra1 .
When I try to load the socal module in order to activate the Fibre
Channel interface, I receive this error:

socal.c: SOC+ driver v1.1 9/Feb/99 Jakub Jelinek (jj@ultra.linux.cz)
FC: Cannot enque FLOGI/REPORT_MAP packet on socal0 port B

FC: Cannot enque FLOGI/REPORT_MAP packet on socal0 port B

I received the same error message with kernel 2.2.19 and 2.4.4,

The Fibre Channel interface is an  SBus FC-AL 100 MB host adapter
( SUNW,socal/sf like show prtdiag command ) and it works fine with
Solaris 7 ( i see all the disks in the array ). 

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance,
