Hi all,


I'm experiencing an issue with the LASI 53c700 SCSI driver. It looks similar to the problem found by Joel earlier :

My plextor cd burner works fine on an x86 and on that K410 with HP-UX or linux 2.4.

This is how 2.4 detects it :
scsi3: (4:0) Synchronous at offset 8, period 100ns
  Vendor: PLEXTOR   Model: CD-R   PX-R820T   Rev: 1.08
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02

And this is how 2.6 detects it :
[42949430.090000]   Vendor: PLEXTOR   Model: CD-R   PX-R820T   Rev: 1.08
[42949430.150000]   Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
[42949430.170000]  target2:0:4: Beginning Domain Validation
[42949430.180000]  target2:0:4: asynchronous
[42949430.190000]  target2:0:4: FAST-10 SCSI 10.0 MB/s ST (100 ns, offset 8)
[42949430.200000]  target2:0:4: Domain Validation skipping write tests
[42949430.210000]  target2:0:4: Ending Domain Validation


The main difference seems that 2.4 detects and syncronous drive while 2.6 detects an async one.

Full 2.4 dmesg : https://www.tuxicoman.be/temp/dmesg-2.4-53c700
Full 2.6 dmesg : https://www.tuxicoman.be/temp/dmesg-2.6-53c700
2.6 kernel config : https://www.tuxicoman.be/temp/k410-2.6.18.2-pa0.config

On my 2.6 kernel, when you try to mount it, you get the those error messages in loop.

As you can see in the dmesg, I have another CDROM drive on the same SCSI bus and this one works like a charm.



Please have a look at it and let me know if you need any other info.

Thanks,
