| |
Hi,
I'm using a sony 12/24GB scsi tape drive on an adaptec scsi controller (on the mainboard) "SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7890/1 (rev 0)."
When i'm using the 2.4.0-test4 or test6 kernels and I run a backup either with tar or with amanda it stops after about 2GB with a tape i/o error, and "mt offline" won't release the tape, I have to reboot to get it out .. even the button on the tapedrive itself won't release the tape. All of this works fine with linux-2.2.16, this is a Dual PII-400 with 256M memory, two 4.5G LVD drives (which seem to work fine under any kernel) and one 9GB ide drive. the Scsi controller is on the Asus mainboard (as i said before) . If you need more info, or I forgot something, or if you want me to test something, just drop me a line ..
On a completely unrelated sidenote, how do you debug deadlocks ? My computer seems to hardlock itself on a fairly regular basis when messing with my USB webcam.. It got so irritating that i'm ready to debug it myself, or at least identify the problem, but i have no idea where to start, any information/websites/tools etc. would be very much appreciated..
ps. please CC me on any replies if possible
