2. Version History¶

  • 3.0 (December 1st, 2005)
    • Updated driver to use SCSI transport class infrastructure
    • Upported sequencer and core fixes from adaptec releasedversion 2.0.15 of the driver.
  • 1.3.11 (July 11, 2003)
    • Fix several deadlock issues.
    • Add 29320ALP and 39320B Id’s.
  • 1.3.10 (June 3rd, 2003)
    • Align the SCB_TAG field on a 16byte boundary. This avoidsSCB corruption on some PCI-33 busses.
    • Correct non-zero luns on Rev B. hardware.
    • Update for change in 2.5.X SCSI proc FS interface.
    • When negotiation async via an 8bit WDTR message, sendan SDTR with an offset of 0 to be sure the targetknows we are async. This works around a firmware defectin the Quantum Atlas 10K.
    • Implement controller suspend and resume.
    • Clear PCI error state during driver attach so that wedon’t disable memory mapped I/O due to a stray writeby some other driver probe that occurred before weclaimed the controller.
  • 1.3.9 (May 22nd, 2003)
    • Fix compiler errors.
    • Remove S/G splitting for segments that cross a 4GB boundary.This is guaranteed not to happen in Linux.
    • Add support for scsi_report_device_reset() found in2.5.X kernels.
    • Add 7901B support.
    • Simplify handling of the packetized lun Rev A workaround.
    • Correct and simplify handling of the ignore wide residuemessage. The previous code would fail to report a residualif the transaction data length was even and we receivedan IWR message.
  • 1.3.8 (April 29th, 2003)
    • Fix types accessed via the command line interface code.
    • Perform a few firmware optimizations.
    • Fix “Unexpected PKT busfree” errors.
    • Use a sequencer interrupt to notify the host ofcommands with bad status. We defer the notificationuntil there are no outstanding selections to ensurethat the host is interrupted for as short a time aspossible.
    • Remove pre-2.2.X support.
    • Add support for new 2.5.X interrupt API.
    • Correct big-endian architecture support.
  • 1.3.7 (April 16th, 2003)
    • Use del_timer_sync() to ensure that no timeoutsare pending during controller shutdown.
    • For pre-2.5.X kernels, carefully adjust our segmentlist size to avoid SCSI malloc pool fragmentation.
    • Cleanup channel display in our /proc output.
    • Workaround duplicate device entries in the mid-layerdevice list during add-single-device.
  • 1.3.6 (March 28th, 2003)
    • Correct a double free in the Domain Validation code.
    • Correct a reference to free’ed memory during controllershutdown.
    • Reset the bus on an SE->LVD change. This is requiredto reset our transceivers.
  • 1.3.5 (March 24th, 2003)
    • Fix a few register window mode bugs.
    • Include read streaming in the PPR flags we display indiagnostics as well as /proc.
    • Add PCI hot plug support for 2.5.X kernels.
    • Correct default precompensation value for RevA hardware.
    • Fix Domain Validation thread shutdown.
    • Add a firmware workaround to make the LED blinkbrighter during packetized operations on the H2A4.
    • Correct /proc display of user read streaming settings.
    • Simplify driver locking by releasing the io_request_lockupon driver entry from the mid-layer.
    • Cleanup command line parsing and move much of this codeto aiclib.
  • 1.3.4 (February 28th, 2003)
    • Correct a race condition in our error recovery handler.
    • Allow Test Unit Ready commands to take a full 5 secondsduring Domain Validation.
  • 1.3.2 (February 19th, 2003)
    • Correct a Rev B. regression due to the GEM318compatibility fix included in 1.3.1.
  • 1.3.1 (February 11th, 2003)
    • Add support for the 39320A.
    • Improve recovery for certain PCI-X errors.
    • Fix handling of LQ/DATA/LQ/DATA for thesame write transaction that can occur withoutinterveining training.
    • Correct compatibility issues with the GEM318enclosure services device.
    • Correct data corruption issue that occurred underhigh tag depth write loads.
    • Adapt to a change in the 2.5.X daemonize() API.

4. Additional Notes¶

4.1. Known/Unresolved or FYI Issues¶

  • Under SuSE Linux Enterprise 7, the driver may fail to operatecorrectly due to a problem with PCI interrupt routing in theLinux kernel. Please contact SuSE for an updated Linuxkernel.

4.2. Third-Party Compatibility Issues¶

  • Adaptec only supports Ultra320 hard drives runningthe latest firmware available. Please check withyour hard drive manufacturer to ensure you have thelatest version.

4.3. Operating System or Technology Limitations¶

  • PCI Hot Plug is untested and may cause the operating systemto stop responding.
  • Luns that are not numbered contiguously starting with 0 might notbe automatically probed during system startup. This is a limitationof the OS. Please contact your Linux vendor for instructions onmanually probing non-contiguous luns.
  • Using the Driver Update Disk version of this package during OSinstallation under RedHat might result in two versions of thisdriver being installed into the system module directory. Thismight cause problems with the /sbin/mkinitrd program and/orother RPM packages that try to install system modules. The bestway to correct this once the system is running is to installthe latest RPM package version of this driver, available fromhttp://www.adaptec.com.
