Description of Problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a Tape autoloader 2. Install Kernel Errata 3. Try to use a multi Lun SCSI Device Actual Results: Only the first lun device is reported Expected Results: All LUN devices should be reported and available. Additional Information: You don't have the multi-lun option turned on when you compile your stock kernels. If I turn it on in your source config files, rebuild the kernel package, install the fixed pakcages, everything works fine.
Multi-lun unfortionatly cannot be turned on by default since quite a few (cheap) scsi devices break that way. There's 2 things that can be done: 1) add the line options scsi_mod max_scsi+luns=128 to the /etc/modules.conf file and then regenerate the initrd or 2) get me the output of cat /proc/scsi/scsi so that your scsi device can be added to the whitelist of devices where the kernel DOES scan all luns
The output from my /proc/scsi/scsi: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1557A Rev: U709 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Couldn't you just: 3. Select CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y in your kernel config? Multi LUN's worked in 7.0. Any reason they stopped?
Dooh, not enough coffee yet. I just ready your response why you can't turn it back on. Sounds like a damned if you do damned if you don't scenario. Either way stuff gets broken.
Unfortionatly yes ;( Thanks for the whitelist entry; I'll add it so it should just work for newer kernels
Added the entry. Does the option work or should I give more details on how to do it?
More details please. I'm not sure what or how to test.
1) add the line options scsi_mod max_scsi+luns=128 to /etc/modules.conf 2) rm /boot/initrd-2.4.9-21smp.img 3) mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.9-21smp.img 2.4.9-21smp reboot that ought to do it (assuming the smp kernel)
That worked fine. Thanks
Ok, ID added, your machine works.... I'm going to close this as "Fixed Current release" as that's closest of what it realy is. If you object to closing this bug, please reopen.
