sym53c8xx driver hangs

I have a machine with a Tekram DC-390U2W and a HP Surestore 1/9 Autoloader (with a Ultrium-1 drive) attached . I've tried to get it to work with FC3(2.6.10-1.766_FC3) with no luck.
I've also tested it with Knoppix-3.3(2.4.24) and it works just fine (output from test-dump in dump.txt and from dmesg in dmesg4.txt).

If I boot with the autoloader powered up, the sym53c8xx-driver hangs (dmesg messages in attched dmesg1.txt) and when it has gotten that far, there is noting that will help but resetting the machine.

If I boot with the autoloader powered up and power it down when the first "batch" of error messages have been printed it detects that and aborts the driver and continues (dmesg2.txt)

Also attached(dmesg3.txt) is the dmesg output with "debug=0xffff".

I've replaced all SCSI-cables and the terminator, but unfortunately this is the only LVD-capable controller I've got(except the internal AIC-7899 but I have no internal-68pin<->-external-68pin converter yet so I can't test the autoloader on that yet) so I can't test with different controller.

I've seen that there are more people having similar problem and some patches have also been suggested, but I haven't tested any of them yet.

Yeah, I don't think any existing patch will help you. Could you try this one?

Basically, the drive is being Bad by acting as if PPR is a personal insult even though it claims to be SCSI-3. This should turn off future attempts to negotiate with PPR after the first attempt fails.

conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain

Actually I got it to work when I applied the patch frage schnell posted jan.20 (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=110624183606642)

No luck, same errors as with the standard(2.1.18m) driver, and the driver gets stuck

Oh. I think I'm confused as to which version of sym2 is in which version of Linus' tree. The same line in my development tree reads:

        if ((goal->options & PPR_OPT_MASK) || (goal->period < 0xa)) {

Does it still work if you use that? The problem with Frage Schnell's patch is that it won't try to negotiate U160 speeds; it'll be capped at U80.

Well, I guess that part of the driver is rewritten a bit, I get a compile error if I put that in ;) But yes, it works if I put in:

if ((tp->tinfo.goal.options & PPR_OPT_MASK) ||

    (tp->tinfo.goal.period < 0xa)) {

Oh, er, yes, looking at the diff from 2.6.10 shows I did ...

+ struct sym_trans *goal = &tp->tinfo.goal;
+ struct sym_trans *curr = &tp->tinfo.curr;

lalalla ;-)

Excellent. Then 2.6.11 works for Ultrium tape drives. Yay! Tick another annoying bug off the list ... just the strange not-working-on-Alpha bug to investigate, I think.
