Qlogic ISP1020

[Rui Barreiros <rbarreiros@evoluta.pt>]

Hello,

I recently acquired an alphaserver 1000a 5/400 and after struggling a
bit to get a decent linux distro running i finally made it.

Right now it's using alphacore, with a vanilla kernel (that is,
downloaded yesterday from kernel.org not the stock fedora kernel in
which is based the distro)

[root@gimli ~]# uname -a
Linux gimli 2.6.12.2 #1 Thu Jun 30 10:48:19 WEST 2005 alpha alpha alpha
GNU/Linux

The problem is with the usage of the tape that comes with the system (a
DEC TLZ09 aka Sony SDT-7000), the problem seems not to be the tape, but
qlogicisp scsi driver, whatever i do with the tape, the device get's
offlined and that console hangs here is the messages log (note i can do
a mt status without any problem, all the other commands that imply the
usage of the tape like erase, rewind, retension etc, have the problem)

I had a look at the driver source in the kernel and noticed this in
qla1280.c

    Rev  3.25, September 28, 2004, Christoph Hellwig
        - add support for ISP1020/1040
        - don't include "scsi.h" anymore for 2.6.x
    Rev  3.24.4 June 7, 2004 Christoph Hellwig
        - restructure firmware loading, cleanup initialization code
        - prepare support for ISP1020/1040 chips

does this mean it isn't fully supported yet ?

Another thing, i wasn't supposed to send this to this list, but i
couldn't find the correct mantainer of this specific driver, can someone
point him out so that we can further talk into solving this issue.

Best regards,

Here goes complete dmesg:
