What I can do to fix problem with locking max tag > count ? Looks normal, it's that the new aic7xxx driver utilizes a maximum tag queue depth of 255 tags. Your devices are supporting only a maximum tag count of 128, 64 and 128 so it's perfectly normal. Also these 'error' messages should only appear once and no more (until a reboot) -- Cliff Albert | RIPE: CA3348-RIPE | www.oisec.net cliff@oisec.net | 6BONE: CA2-6BONE | icq 18461740 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
