| | Linux Kernel Mailing List -- 2.4.18: aic7xxx soft reboot broken |
 | | Since the upgrade, soft reboots don't work; the machine appears to shut down normally, but during the subsequent boot the SCSI BIOS reports a timeout on an inquiry command and is unable to find any drives on the bus. |
 | | Problem seems to be that the reboot notifier for the new aic7xxx driver is registered in aic7xxx_setup, which only gets called when there are module or kernel command-line params for aic7xxx. |
 | | Without reboot notification and cleanup, the card is left in a bad state at shutdown, and BIOS does not appear to clean it up during boot. |
