Hello,

My SCSI ZIP drive does not always get probed correctly at initial
boot, and *never* if there is no ZIP inserted.

This is on 3.1-STABLE as of March 22nd.

I have an ncr810 is the first scsi-bus, with two disks and a CD,
and an aha1542B is the second bus, with an external ZIP and
sometimes a scanner.  Cables are almost new, hopefully not of too
crappy quality.  And the same hardware worked with 2.2.8 (w/o CAM).

Dmesg output for the Adaptec controller looks like:

aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 9 drq 6 on isa
aha0: AHA-1540/1542 64 head BIOS FW Rev. 1.2 (ID=41) SCSI Host Adapter, SCSI ID 7, 16 CCBs
[...]
(da2:aha0:0:5:0): READ CAPACITY. CDB: 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
(da2:aha0:0:5:0): error code 0
(da2:aha0:0:5:0): fatal error, failed to attach to device
(da2:aha0:0:5:0): lost device
(da2:aha0:0:5:0): removing device entry


So, I think I can locate the place in scsi_da.c where this comes from,
but then what... :(

A "camcontrol rescan 1" will locate the drive, as will rebooting with
a ZIP inside.

Anybody else seeing this?  Hints, suggestions or patches are welcome.

BTW: Is there any way to get CAM to attach a device, other than
pass<N>, to a device after boot?

	/Mikko
