Symbios failure at full speed with kernel-2.6.13.rc6-mm1
I am using a LSIU160/Symbios 53c1010 Ultra3 scsi adapter and it works at full speed (75 MB/sec) with kernel-2.6.12. And dmesg shows:
kernel: target0:0:0: Beginning Domain Validation kernel: target0:0:0: asynchronous. kernel: WIDTH IS 1 kernel: target0:0:0: wide asynchronous. kernel: target0:0:0: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns, offset 62) kernel: target0:0:0: Ending Domain Validation kernel: sym1: <1010-33> rev 0x1 at pci 0000:01:07.1 irq 11 kernel: sym1: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-80, SE, parity checking kernel: sym1: open drain IRQ line driver kernel: sym1: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. kernel: sym1: handling phase mismatch from SCRIPTS. kernel: sym1: SCSI BUS has been reset. kernel: scsi1 : sym-2.2.0 kernel: libata version 1.11 loaded.
With kernel-2.6.13-rc6-mm1 the speed drops back to 2.70 MB/sec because of validation failure and dmesg shows:
