Well, I'm back at work and am still trying 5.1.0 on a Dell Poweredge with dual 400 MHz PII's. I just finished trying the pre3-to-pre4 patch that guarantees a reset of the device but get a lockup after exactly the same messages in exactly the same way that I reported Friday. I continue to get a parity error in a loop that is hit every four or five seconds (from the "spurious interrupt" part of the driver, I believe) if I load only with maximum verbosity, and die after the same message as I laboriously typed in on Friday (with only one Data Parity error). The error persists identically across SMP and UP kernels (2.0.34, for what it is worth). I've examined /proc/pci before loading the module and it is unremarkable, except that the 7860 and 7890 appear to be sharing an interrupt (IRQ 10) with different ioports. I can enclose this and any other pre-module-insert data requested on demand -- the system boots stably diskless so I have complete access to the running /proc and more. I must point out that the code added to "definitely reset the bus" IS NOT EXECUTED! I get no messages concerning "Resetting channel [A/B]" (or any of the added error messages saying not to use no_reset, which I'm not using;-)! I'm going to try to hack at the code some more and see if I can see any reason that the device reset segment isn't being run. The obvious answer is that the crash is somehow occurring before the device reset segment of the code, if that is at all possible. rgb Robert G.
