The problem is that some SCSI devices respond on all LUNs when they should only respond on one. Some other devices also lock up when they are polled on anything but LUN 0. Linux has a list of these bad devices in drivers/scsi/scsi.c. The list is called blacklist[]. All you need to do is write down the identifying info that Linux is showing on the screen for the device (should be three strings with the manafacturer, model, and revision). Then add that to the blacklist[] in scsi.c and recompile your kernel. You should send the info to someone on the linux scsi development team (perhaps Eric Youngdale - ericy@cais.com) so that it gets included in future Linux releases. That should do it! > Thanks, > James. +----------------------------Ren & Stimpy--------------------------------+ | "Psst. Hey Guido. It's all so clear to me now. I'm the keeper of the | | cheese.
