I quess I'm guilty. I sent Linus the new DTC3280 driver, plus some fixes
and enhancements to the drivers that use the NCR3280.c core.
My PAS16 would lock up LINUX if I had interrupts enabled, so I whacked it
out in that driver, and accidently left it that way.
As far as I can tell, I don't have an IRQ conflict,
but who knows... (shrug).

Did your PAS16 cease to function? Or are you just commenting on the message?

BTW, my testing with the other drivers that use that same core--I could not
see any difference in performance whether I used interrupts or not.
Regards,
Ray

Hi all!

I recently compiled 1.3 series (1.3.86) and found out that my
interrupts for PAS16 are disabled whatever I give to lilo.

I looked at pas16.c in /drivers/scsi and found out following:

if (overrides[current_override].irq != IRQ_AUTO)
instance->irq = overrides[current_override].irq;
else
instance->irq = NCR5380_probe_irq(instance, PAS16_IRQS);

instance->irq = IRQ_NONE; /*****temp****/
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS LINE DOESN'T SUPPOSE TO BE
HERE OR??? (It was marked temp too)
if (instance->irq != IRQ_NONE)
if (request_irq(instance->irq, pas16_intr, SA_INTERRUPT,
"pas16", N$ printk("scsi%d : IRQ%d not free, interrupts
disabled\n",
instance->host_no, instance->irq);
instance->irq = IRQ_NONE;
}

Greetings, Alen
