My sincere apologies! I did read the README.aix7xxx, but with all of my linking and re-linking of differently patched kernel directories, I must have accidentally read an old one. The new one was VERY useful. Thank you! I now have a properly working patched kernel. Still have to put it through it's paces. Concerning my Tape drive, and wide/sync negotiation. I could see how the large number of message bytes that occur with sync/wide/disconnect negotiation could be too much for some devices to cope with. Hadn't thought of that before. Before I send you my tape drive, would a SCSI bus trace be of any use to you? Maybe this trace combined with some well placed printk()'s? >Now, as a side note, I didn't take the time to update the >/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/README.aic7xxx file for nothing.
