>Just by coincidence, the people that described their hardware were running >EISA and 284X controllers. Guess what? There was a major EISA rewrite >about the same time as John committed his benign Async changes.... Actually, I was able to reproduce it on a asystem with a 2940 before any of my eisaconf/aic7xxx changes went into the tree (it was the last machine I was to test my changes on before committing them). There was also a report from someone with a Buslogic VLB card... From the two hangs I got on my EISA machine (running my new eisaconf code) that I analized with DG, the flags on the buffer that the system was sleeping on where in an inconsistant state. Neither the eisaconf code nor the aic7xxx code munge buffers on a personal level, so I don't know how they could cause this type of problem. Anything is possible though. :) I haven't seen a getblk hang on my machine for more than a week now. Perhaps the problem has been inadvertantly fixed??? >-Peter -- Justin T.
