$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST318451LW Rev: 0003 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
This disk i(/dev/sda) is an Ultra 160 (SPI) connected to a Tekram DC-309U3W controller.
The reported problem occurs with all disks seen by the scsi subsystem in lk 2.5.21 that I have tested including usb mass storage and ieee1394 sbp2. I am not aware of any ATA disks that support ATAPI and hence could be used with ide-scsi driver (if it didn't crash in 2.5.21).
My guess is that there is a problem in the block (or genhd) subsystem.
