Hello, i have a ICP-Vortex SCSI-Hostadapter (GDT-3000B, EISA) I try to reserve a Fujitsu MO-Device (M2513) at SCSI-ID 4 as a scsi-raw device.
The 'append-line' at '/etc/lilo.conf' ------------------------------------- append="gdth=disable:N,rescan:Y,reserve_list:0,0,4,0,hdr_channel:0 -------------------------------------
Kernel 2.0.36/37 works well:
'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' (from 2.0.37): ------------------------------------- Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ICP Model: Host Drive #00 Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: ICP Model: Host Drive #01 Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 01 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: M2513E Rev: 0060 Type: Optical Device ANSI SCSI revision: 02 I do not change anything at my hardware. I just boot kernel 2.2.10 with the same lilo-configuration. 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' (from 2.2.10): ------------------------------------- Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ICP Model: Host Drive #00 Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: ICP Model: Host Drive #01 Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 ------------------------------------
The reserved MO-device from lilo-configuration is not present. One aspect is importent, maybe: The messages in '/proc/scsi/gdth/0' (directly from the controller) are the same, whether kernel 2.0.36/37 or kernel 2.2.10 is running. They shows the correct informations:
'cat /proc/scsi/gdth/0' (kernel 2.0.36/37 and kernel 2.2.10): ------------------------------------------------------------- Driver Parameters: reserve_mode: 1 reserve_list: 0,0,4,0 max_ids: 127 hdr_channel: 0

I have spoken to the support-team from ICP-Vortex many times. They do not have any solutions for this problem. It looks so, that it is not a problem of the gdth-driver.
So my question is, could this behavior belong to the SCSI-code at 2.2.x ? Note: The Motherboard has EISA/PCI - bus and 2xpentium 200 (smp).
Do someone else have trouble with Kernels 2.2.x and EISA-Controllers, especially from ICP-Vortex?
Note: This email to the kernel mailinglist is my last idea, to get some help solving this problem.
Thank you in advance, Andreas.
