Hello there!
I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ with the INI 9400u SCSI card. On this card there is only one device attached, a HP DLT4000 tape unit (2 HP DDS-3 tape units are supposed to be added later). In my /var/log/messages file I keep seeing these entries:
Feb 21 12:56:41 imhotep kernel: sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Feb 21 12:56:41 imhotep kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 21 12:56:43 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:43 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:43 imhotep kernel: sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Feb 21 12:56:43 imhotep kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 21 12:56:45 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:45 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:45 imhotep kernel: sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Feb 21 12:56:45 imhotep kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 21 12:56:47 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:47 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:47 imhotep kernel: sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Feb 21 12:56:47 imhotep kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 21 12:56:49 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:49 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:49 imhotep kernel: sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Feb 21 12:56:49 imhotep kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 21 12:56:51 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info Feb 21 12:56:51 imhotep kernel: sddr09: could not read card info
An sda entry would mean there is a SCSI drive attached, but there is none. What is meant with sddr09 I have no idea! When I go into the BIOS of the card, it only sees the DLT drive.
What's in /proc/scsi/scsi ?

Hi!
Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: Sandisk Model: ImageMate SDDR-0 Rev: 0208 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: Quantum Model: DLT4000 Rev: DA97 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
The SanDisk is actually a USB cardreader.
Kind regards, Angelo
