People have been reporting this to me since 1.3.79, but I've not been able to reproduce the effect. Let's try to get some more specifics.
- Does this happen when ppa is resident in the kernel, or only when it is a module ?
- Does adjusting the timing parameters (including ppa_call_sched) make any difference ? Try going both ways - at least one person has reported that things started working at *faster* settings. If so, this suggests to me that some timeout higher in the SCSI code has been shortened.
- If you are using ppa with 1.3.79+ please send me a summary of your kernel and system configurations and tell me whether the driver is failing for you or not.
