https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=345438#c13 Summary: Tape drive support not functioning in 10.3 with pata_amd. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: stephen@gocopypro.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Recently upgraded a server with a Seagate tape drive from opensuse 9.2 to 10.3. Used a fresh hard drive, so I still have the 9.2 disk. It's a good thing that I did, because 10.3 refuses to work with the tape drive. Running mt -f /dev/st0 status gives "mt: /dev/st0: rmtopen failed: Input/output error" and causes the following line to be added to dmesg: st0: Error 40000 (sugg. bt 0x0, driver bt 0x0, host bt 0x4). Now, I know the tape drive works. I put that 9.2 hard drive back in, booted to it, and the tape drive worked perfectly. So I did a hwinfo --scsi under 9.2 and got this: CODE 19: SCSI 101.0: 10601 Tape [Created at scsi.1415] Unique ID: Er1e.OHd03oaSLHD Parent ID: WL76.ajaKpUCGCEF SysFS ID: /class/scsi_tape/st0 SysFS BusID: 0:0:0:0 SysFS Device Link: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/ide1/1.1/host0/0:0 Hardware Class: unknown Model: "Seagate STT20000A" Vendor: "Seagate" Device: "STT20000A" Revision: "8A51" Driver: "AMD_IDE", "st" Device File: /dev/st0 (/dev/sg0) Device Number: char 9:0 (char 21:0) Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #13 (IDE interface) hwinfo --scsi in 10.3: CODE 19: SCSI 101.0: 10601 Tape [Created at scsi.1415] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_85_scsi_host_0_scsi_device_lun0_0_scsi_generic Unique ID: Er1e.OHd03oaSLHD Parent ID: WL76.ajaKpUCGCEF SysFS ID: /class/scsi_tape/st0 SysFS BusID: 1:0:1:0 SysFS Device Link: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/host1/target1:0:1/1:0:1:0 Hardware Class: unknown Model: "Seagate STT20000A" Vendor: "Seagate" Device: "STT20000A" Revision: "8A51" Driver: "pata_amd", "st" Driver Modules: "pata_amd" Device File: /dev/st0 (/dev/sg2) Device Number: char 9:0 (char 21:2) Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #13 (IDE interface) So, seeing that I was now using pata_amd, and there is a bug report with pata_amd already, i tried using brokenmodules=pata_amd. System booted and continued to use pata_amd despite my objections. I am without a tape drive. I do not know if this is the same as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334360, but it seems kind of similar. I'm sorry if I filed this bug report incorrectly. My first time filing a bug!
