Doug,

I am getting this looping on boot:

scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Bad scbptr 16 during SELTO
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Referenced SCB 255 not valid during SELTO
SCSISEQ=0x5a SEQADDR=0x8 SSTATO=0x10 SSTATI=0x8a
<the same repeated many times and then>
aborting due to timeout pid 8 scsi0 channel 0 id 3 lun 0
<then it start again>

The SEQADDR changes to 0x6, and 0x5 occasionally in the sequence. It seemed
to work fine on Channel A. I only have one device on A and 4 devices on B.
The device on A is a 16 bit 20Mhz device. The devices on B are all 8 bit
devices at 10Mhz. It seems to loop on the device that it finds first but I am
not sure that it consistently does the same device.

I am running linux-2.1.102 with 5.0.13 of your driver without problem. I have
not seen anything like this with the 5.0.13 driver.

My System:

Intel DK440LX with AIC7895 dual UW scsi with SCAM *DISABLED*.
No options are being passed to the driver. I am booting a stock kernel off of a
floppy.

Troy
