Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:2.6.14 last and 2.6.15 Distribution:Debian Hardware Environment:AMD MP Software Environment:Debian Problem Description: I get messages every 2 seconds when my CD reader/writer has no Disk : ... Make sure there is a disk in the drive and other messages when a CD is in the drive : ... sr 2:0:2:0: phase change 2-3 12@..... also every 2 seconds. In either case the unit was not mounted, I had to revert to an older kernel version I think 2.6.14 (.4 ?) as the console is unusable with so many messages. The message is since the last 2.6.14 and I get the same messages with the 2.6.15 (last from Debian I suppose it is 2.6.15-2). Steps to reproduce: ????
Does everything otherwise work OK? If so, should we just nuke that printk, or give it a suitable facility level?
That printk tells us that something moderately nasty is going on on the scsi bus, so I think it has the appropriate facility level. I'd like a lot more detail in this bug report, such as: - lspci output - lsscsi output - At what point in 2.6.15 development did this start happening? - Has this stopped happening with the 2.6.17-rc2? I don't know if this is a sym2 bug or whether it's something the rest of the stack is doing to perturb this poor device.
Hello, The erratic message was only present in 2.6.14, I never see it with the last 2.6.14 and never see it since (I run now 2.6.16-8). Regards JP Pozzi
