I knew as soon as I sent that message that I had forgotten to include the
kernel version. I guess I should have really included all the messages
accurately as well...
I'm running kernel 2.2.5 (RedHat 6.0 RPM 2.2.5-22).
Here are all the messages:
ppa: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.2.x)
ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 16 bit
ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use PS/2
ppa: Communication established with ID 6 using PS/2
scsi0 : Iomega VP10 (ppa) interface
scsi : 1 host
Kernel panic: scsi: unsupported message byte 187 received
In swapper task - not syncing
Hope this is useful.
Thanks for the response.
