Latest working kernel version: 2.6.24 Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.26 Distribution: Debian Lenny (-testing + -unstable + kernel trunk for debian) Hardware Environment: ASUS P4B 2.0 GHz P4 Motherboard, Dell PERC3/DC (like AMI MegraRAID Elite 1600) LVD Ultra3 SCSI Adaptor with four 80 GB drives on Channel 0 and a SCSI-U2 Seagate DDS-4 tape drive on Channel 1 Software Environment: Debian Lenny (up-to-date), with some unstable and tested with the testing kernel (.25) and the trunk kernel (.26) Problem Description: The kernel panics (claiming it's in the megaraid_mbox driver) during boot when the st driver would normally report st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes. This is after the logical disk has been found and all filesystems mounted, so the RAID part of the driver is probably fine. The point at which st 0:1:6:0: Attached scsi tape st0 st 0:1:6:0: st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B) appears with .24 is passed before the panic, but I haven't actually seen those messages as they scroll by too quickly. Steps to reproduce: 1) Install debian lenny with a .24 kernel (I'm not sure how you would do that now that .24 is no longer the testing kernel); maybe beta2 would still let you. 2) Install -testing kernel (.25) 3) Attempt to boot using the new kernel 4) Kernel panics, system is unusable

Did you receive my email to the lists? I don't see it in Google so I'm pinging to make sure it's not lost given the problems with it not getting to the list.

Using a second adaptor card and moving the non-RAID devices off the megaraid controller solved the panic. It appears the problem is the non-RAID devices and may be related the the bug for which there is a patch for newer CERC firmware (sorry don't have the post url, it was on this list) which deals with an error in the way the devices are enumerated. This controller is a Dell PERC3/DCL and has the following BIOS/firmware revision info: on boot screen BIOS is listed as 3.35 May 7,2004 Standard Firmware is listed as 199D in the setup screen, it shows PERC/CERC BIOS Configuration Utility U827 lspci -vvv gives: 04:00.0 RAID bus controller: American Megatrends Inc.
