Help with SCSI CDROM's....

[otheos]

I have installed RH7.1 and all went fine. However as soon as I boot, if there are no disc in the three CDROMs hooked on the Tekram U3W card, I get terrible verbose from the kernel log:


Oct 4 08:43:58 zeus kernel: sym53c1010-1-<2,0>: sync msgout: 1-3-1-c-1e.
Oct 4 08:43:58 zeus kernel: sym53c1010-1-<2,0>: sync msg in: 1-3-1-c-f.
Oct 4 08:43:58 zeus kernel: sym53c1010-1-<2,0>: sync: per=12 scntl3=0x30 scntl4=0x0 ofs=15 fak=0 chg=0.
Oct 4 08:44:00 zeus kernel: sym53c1010-1-<2,0>: sync msgout: 1-3-1-c-1e.
Oct 4 08:44:00 zeus kernel: sym53c1010-1-<2,0>: sync msg in: 1-3-1-c-f.

Oct 4 08:44:02 zeus kernel: sym53c1010-1-<2,0>: sync msgout: 1-3-1-c-1e.


And that's just for one of them. If I leave the drives without a disc I get a full /var/log/messages file in less than 5 hours!!

How can I stop this (other than having always a disc in the drives)? It gets worse, cause if I put a blank in the burner it goes crazy (cdrecord wokrs ok though).

Thank you for your time.

This is just a guess, but perhaps scsi logging is enabled in the kernel and you may have to recompile the kernel to turn it off. Or there could be a command you can execute to disable scsi logging.

Perhaps there's documentation included with the kernel source on this.
