New: ide-tape boot kernel panic

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13308

           Summary: ide-tape boot kernel panic
           Product: IO/Storage
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.29.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: IDE
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
        Regression: No

I'm on an Intel ICH5 with dual Pentium 4

00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller (rev 02)

Trying to get an old ATAPI Travan tape to work. I was trying the old piix with ide-tape, but that ends in a kernel panic on boot (see attached screen photos). Sorry, I can't scrollback after the panic, and I'm already using the smallest font, so no idea what the rest of the kernel output is.

partial transscript:

Call Trace:
[<c0401b79>] ? ide_wait_stat+0x39/0x80

...
EIP: [<c040ccd3>] idetape_do_request+0x187/0x3c1

2.6.30-rc5 still crashes, but the stack trace is much longer and off screen...

I have also tried ata_piix, but that fails to scan the device:

fix oops

Note to self: This is going upstream for 2.6.31. We should backport it to .29 and .30.

can I assume that your drive works fine after applying this patch and there are no other problems? IOW, can you access the tape and do some data movement to/from it using ide-tape?

Boris.
