Description Mark Levitt 2003-02-10 15:56:58 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
I ugraded to Redhat errate kernel 2.4.18-24.8.0.

Booting with the new kernel, I get the following message when the aic7xxx driver
loads:
blk: queue c24ee414, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)

This is the full driver initialization message:
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 02:04.0
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8
        <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter>
        aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs

blk: queue c24ee414, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
  Vendor: HP        Model: C1537A            Rev: L111
  Type:   Sequential-Access                  ANSI SCSI revision: 02
blk: queue c24eec14, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)


I did not get this message with the previous kernel, 2.4.18-19.8.0.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with the new 2.4.18-24.8.0 kernel
2. scsi driver loads
3.
    

Actual Results:  blk: queue c24ee414, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)error
message

Expected Results:  No error message should be produced.

bug duplicate of #67201:
------- Additional Comment #3 From Arjan van de Ven on 2002-07-10 08:16 -------

This is a harmless printk; the kernel tries to autoload something that doesn't
work; that's ok because the initrd is about to load that anyway

Comment 3 Mark Levitt 2003-03-02 10:49:31 UTC
No this is *not* a duplicate of #67201

#67201 seems to be refering to the message:
"kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2"

That's not the issue with this bug. 
The issue with this bug is the message:
"blk: queue c24eec14, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)"






Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2003-03-02 11:13:33 UTC
"blk: queue c24eec14, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)"

means "this driver has advertised a PCI capability of 32 bits (0xffffffff)" and
is no error

Comment 5 omali 2003-03-07 10:22:17 UTC
Motherboard is intel L440GX+
Hot swap Controller is Adaptec AIC-7896N
This is an intel U2 Rack mount server Model ISP 2150 hotswap hard drives.
I can get 8.0 to install on Hard but
when it tries to boot up. I get hard drive errors.
/sbin/modprobe -s -k SCSI_hostadapter err-number 2

Anyone have a clue on whats wrong?????
Please help!!!!!!!!!

Booting with the new kernel, I get the following message when the aic7xxx driver

Comment 6 Arjan van de Ven 2003-03-07 11:05:27 UTC
 omali : you have a totally different issue (440GX chipsets aren't supported in
8.0 and aren't working properly)

Comment 7 omali 2003-03-07 21:53:22 UTC

Comment 8 Arjan van de Ven 2003-03-07 21:56:49 UTC
omali: you can start by not using an unrelated bug number but open a new one....

Comment 9 Alan Cox 2003-06-05 15:00:46 UTC
The blk queue message is not a bug.
