Well thanks very much for the information, and it's great to here
that you are still working on the subject.
I tried what you advised, and it seems to 'almost' work. At least
it finds my disk drive but then seems to hang when resetting the
scsi bus.
I hate to ask, especially when you have clearly stated that
you don't support this module, but have you any idea what may be
wrong here?
this is the log...
# insmod scsi_mod
# insmod sd_mod
# insmod epst
scsi0 : epst driver version 0.01 using mode 1 on port 0x378.
scsi : 1 host.
Vendor: NOMAI Model: MCD 540I Rev: 5.43
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
scsi0 : channel 0 target 1 lun 1 request sense failed, performing reset.
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
... this hangs forever.
thanks again
