Kernel 2.4.0ac10 and sym53c895 problem
Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer
I'm experiencing a problem with my scsi card (based on a sym53c895 chipset)
since kernel ac9. During the boot, I get this messages

This is strange because it didn't happend with older kernel (and I know
that some changes were made between ac8 and ac9). If Gerard can help me and
if I can help him to debug this thing, please let me know, thank you!
Oh, I've forgotten another thing. If I do cat /proc/bus/pci/00/* when I'm
root (and only root), I get scsi reset (especially when I'm copying big
files). Is this a bug or a feature?

I donnot see any problem in the messages, but just additional messages
related to negotiations occuring between host and targets.
The driver has been updated in -ac9 with the Ultra-160 (SYM53C1010)
support. This enhancement has been added by Pamela Delaney from LSILOGIC
and she probably wants these additional messages to be printed out to help
diagnosing real problems if any.
These debugging informations will obviously be conditionned soon a not be
printed out by default as in previous driver versions.
If you really want these messages to go away:

Or boot with options: sym53c8xx=debug:0
Both. :-)
You donnot want to read configuration space beyong byte 128 for chip
earlier than SYM53C896.
