Hi, I am having problems with 2.3.29 (and 28 atleast) with SCSI errors causing the machine to lock up. After a bunch of errors like: Dec 3 11:30:59 glass kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 188131, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Read (10) 00 00 37 3f 53 00 00 02 00 Dec 3 11:30:59 glass kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 188136, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Read (6) 0e 86 d3 10 00 Dec 3 11:30:59 glass kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 188134, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Write (6) 01 3f 51 02 00 Dec 3 11:31:00 glass kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 188131) timed out - resetting Dec 3 11:31:00 glass kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.

Dec 3 11:31:04 glass kernel: (scsi0:0:1:0) Performing Domain validation. Dec 3 11:31:04 glass kernel: (scsi0:0:1:0) Successfully completed Domain validation. All the processes that were accessing if SCSI discs are hung in a D wait (WCHAN "wait_on_buffer" or "wait_on_page" or "down" or the like). The machine isn't completely hung as I can still login, and a reboot sometimes succeeds, after successfully unmounting the filesystems (though sometimes is hangs while "unmounting filesystems"). It looks like a failed request is getting lost and never completed, either successfully or otherwise. If anyone has any suggestion - a fix maybe, or some suggestions where to look or how to instrument my kernel to get more details - I would appreciate it. Incase it is relevant, I have a Dual PentiumII-350, Adaptech 2940-U2W host adapter, 3 18Gb Seagate LVD drives. The drives have ext2 filesystems and are being accessed by knfsd.
