Hi all. I just recently got a digital RRD40 SCSI CD-ROM drive to play
with. I have a fairly standard Gateway 486/33, 2 ide hard drives,
modem, and AHA-1522B SCSI controller. The only other device on the
SCSI chain is a zip drive. Anyway, if I boot with the digital cd-rom
powered up, the kernel takes a long time after the "scsi: 1 host"
message, then spews forth the following:

scsi: 1 host
inbound message (MESSAGE REJECT), inbound message (MESSAGE REJECT), Vendor: DEC Model: RRD40 TM DEC Rev: 280E

Sorry for leaving out the registers and the stack. None of this is in
any logs, so I had to write all of it down by hand, and the
stack/registers have a lot of nasty numbers. If they are needed/will
help much I can get them without trouble. This happens every time I
boot with the CD drive on. All functions in call trace and EIP are
from System.map. I've only had this card for about a month, so I'm
rather new to SCSI stuff. If there is a dumb configuration mistake
I've made, please just let me know. I haven't really diddled at all
with the configs on the AHA-1522B. And I have checked the devices sr*
and scd* in /dev, and they all are major 11, minor ([0-7] for scd*,
[0-2] for sr*).

That is all I have prepared for now. I don't subscribe to linux-scsi,
so if anyone there responds, please cc to me (or linux-kernel if
appropriate).

On a happier note, I have been running 2.0.xx since release, and this
is the first problem I've had. Great job everyone!

P.S. I can use my ZIP drive without problems, as long as the cd drive
is off. Both are connected to the chain now, with the cd off.
