If you want to use SCSI scanners, synthesizers or CD-writers or just
about anything having "SCSI" in its name other than hard disks,

and for burning a "disk at once": CDRDAO

help
Some devices support more than one LUN (Logical Unit Number) in order
to allow access to several media, e.g. CD jukebox, USB card reader,
mobile phone in mass storage mode. This option forces the kernel to
probe for all LUNs by default. This setting can be overriden by
max_luns boot/module parameter. Note that this option does not affect
devices conforming to SCSI-3 or higher as they can explicitely report
their number of LUNs. It is safe to say Y here unless you have one of
those rare devices which reacts in an unexpected way when probed for
multiple LUNs.

This turns on a logging facility that can be used to debug a number
of SCSI related problems.
If you say Y here, no logging output will appear by default, but you
can enable logging by saying Y to "/proc file system support" and
"Sysctl support" below and executing the command
echo <bitmask> > /proc/sys/dev/scsi/logging_level
where <bitmask> is a four byte value representing the logging type
and logging level for each type of logging selected.
There are a number of logging types and you can find them in the
source at <file:drivers/scsi/scsi_logging.h>. The logging levels
are also described in that file and they determine the verbosity of
the logging for each logging type.
If you say N here, it may be harder to track down some types of SCSI
problems. If you say Y here your kernel will be somewhat larger, but
there should be no noticeable performance impact as long as you have
logging turned off.
config SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC
bool "Asynchronous SCSI scanning"
depends on SCSI
help
The SCSI subsystem can probe for devices while the rest of the
system continues booting, and even probe devices on different
busses in parallel, leading to a significant speed-up.
If you have built SCSI as modules, enabling this option can
be a problem as the devices may not have been found by the
time your system expects them to have been. You can load the
scsi_wait_scan module to ensure that all scans have completed.
If you build your SCSI drivers into the kernel, then everything
will work fine if you say Y here.
You can override this choice by specifying "scsi_mod.scan=sync"
or async on the kernel's command line.

# scsi_wait_scan is a loadable module which waits until all the async scans are
# complete. The idea is to use it in initrd/ initramfs scripts. You modprobe
# it after all the modprobes of the root SCSI drivers and it will wait until
# they have all finished scanning their buses before allowing the boot to
# proceed. (This method is not applicable if targets boot independently in
# parallel with the initiator, or with transports with non-deterministic target
# discovery schemes, or if a transport driver does not support scsi_wait_scan.)

SCSI requests and responses over a TCP/IP network between the host

WARNING This driver is an older aic7xxx driver and is no longer
under active development. Adaptec, Inc. is writing a new driver to
take the place of this one, and it is recommended that whenever
possible, people should use the new Adaptec written driver instead
of this one. This driver will eventually be phased out entirely.
This is support for the various aic7xxx based Adaptec SCSI
controllers. These include the 274x EISA cards; 284x VLB cards;
2902, 2910, 293x, 294x, 394x, 3985 and several other PCI and
motherboard based SCSI controllers from Adaptec. It does not support
the AAA-13x RAID controllers from Adaptec, nor will it likely ever
support them. It does not support the 2920 cards from Adaptec that
use the Future Domain SCSI controller chip. For those cards, you
need the "Future Domain 16xx SCSI support" driver.
In general, if the controller is based on an Adaptec SCSI controller
chip from the aic777x series or the aic78xx series, this driver
should work. The only exception is the 7810 which is specifically
not supported (that's the RAID controller chip on the AAA-13x
cards).
Note that the AHA2920 SCSI host adapter is *not* supported by this
driver; choose "Future Domain 16xx SCSI support" instead if you have
one of those.
Information on the configuration options for this controller can be
found by checking the help file for each of the available
configuration options. You should read

---help---
This driver supports all EATA/DMA-compliant SCSI host adapters. DPT
ISA and all EISA I/O addresses are probed looking for the "EATA"
signature. The addresses of all the PCI SCSI controllers reported
by the PCI subsystem are probed as well.
You want to read the start of <file:drivers/scsi/eata.c> and the
SCSI-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called eata.
config SCSI_EATA_TAGGED_QUEUE
bool "enable tagged command queueing"
depends on SCSI_EATA
help
This is a feature of SCSI-2 which improves performance: the host
adapter can send several SCSI commands to a device's queue even if
previous commands haven't finished yet.
This is equivalent to the "eata=tc:y" boot option.
config SCSI_EATA_LINKED_COMMANDS
bool "enable elevator sorting"
depends on SCSI_EATA
help
This option enables elevator sorting for all probed SCSI disks and
CD-ROMs. It definitely reduces the average seek distance when doing
random seeks, but this does not necessarily result in a noticeable
performance improvement: your mileage may vary...
This is equivalent to the "eata=lc:y" boot option.
config SCSI_EATA_MAX_TAGS
int "maximum number of queued commands"
depends on SCSI_EATA
default "16"
help
This specifies how many SCSI commands can be maximally queued for
each probed SCSI device. You should reduce the default value of 16
only if you have disks with buggy or limited tagged command support.
Minimum is 2 and maximum is 62. This value is also the window size
used by the elevator sorting option above. The effective value used
by the driver for each probed SCSI device is reported at boot time.
This is equivalent to the "eata=mq:8" boot option.
config SCSI_EATA_PIO
tristate "EATA-PIO (old DPT PM2001, PM2012A) support"
depends on (ISA || EISA || PCI) && SCSI && BROKEN
---help---
This driver supports all EATA-PIO protocol compliant SCSI Host
Adapters like the DPT PM2001 and the PM2012A. EATA-DMA compliant
host adapters could also use this driver but are discouraged from
doing so, since this driver only supports hard disks and lacks
numerous features. You might want to have a look at the SCSI-HOWTO,
available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called eata_pio.

This is support for Future Domain's 16-bit SCSI host adapters
(TMC-1660/1680, TMC-1650/1670, TMC-3260, TMC-1610M/MER/MEX) and
other adapters based on the Future Domain chipsets (Quantum
ISA-200S, ISA-250MG; Adaptec AHA-2920A; and at least one IBM board).
It is explained in section 3.7 of the SCSI-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
NOTE: Newer Adaptec AHA-2920C boards use the Adaptec AIC-7850 chip
and should use the aic7xxx driver ("Adaptec AIC7xxx chipset SCSI
controller support"). This Future Domain driver works with the older
Adaptec AHA-2920A boards with a Future Domain chip on them.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called fdomain.
config SCSI_FD_MCS
tristate "Future Domain MCS-600/700 SCSI support"
depends on MCA_LEGACY && SCSI
---help---
This is support for Future Domain MCS 600/700 MCA SCSI adapters.
Some PS/2 computers are equipped with IBM Fast SCSI Adapter/A which
is identical to the MCS 700 and hence also supported by this driver.
This driver also supports the Reply SB16/SCSI card (the SCSI part).
It supports multiple adapters in the same system.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called fd_mcs.
config SCSI_GDTH
tristate "Intel/ICP (former GDT SCSI Disk Array) RAID Controller support"
depends on (ISA || EISA || PCI) && SCSI && ISA_DMA_API
---help---
Formerly called GDT SCSI Disk Array Controller Support.
This is a driver for RAID/SCSI Disk Array Controllers (EISA/ISA/PCI)
manufactured by Intel Corporation/ICP vortex GmbH. It is documented
in the kernel source in <file:drivers/scsi/gdth.c> and
<file:drivers/scsi/gdth.h>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called gdth.
config SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380
tristate "Generic NCR5380/53c400 SCSI PIO support"
depends on ISA && SCSI
---help---
This is a driver for the old NCR 53c80 series of SCSI controllers
on boards using PIO. Most boards such as the Trantor T130 fit this
category, along with a large number of ISA 8bit controllers shipped
for free with SCSI scanners. If you have a PAS16, T128 or DMX3191
you should select the specific driver for that card rather than
generic 5380 support.
It is explained in section 3.8 of the SCSI-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. If it doesn't work out
of the box, you may have to change some settings in
<file:drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.h>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called g_NCR5380.
config SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380_MMIO
tristate "Generic NCR5380/53c400 SCSI MMIO support"
depends on ISA && SCSI
---help---
This is a driver for the old NCR 53c80 series of SCSI controllers
on boards using memory mapped I/O.
It is explained in section 3.8 of the SCSI-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. If it doesn't work out
of the box, you may have to change some settings in

config SCSI_GENERIC_NCR53C400
bool "Enable NCR53c400 extensions"
depends on SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380
help
This enables certain optimizations for the NCR53c400 SCSI cards.
You might as well try it out. Note that this driver will only probe
for the Trantor T130B in its default configuration; you might have
to pass a command line option to the kernel at boot time if it does
not detect your card. See the file
<file:Documentation/scsi/g_NCR5380.txt> for details.

---help---
This is support for the IBM SCSI adapter found in many of the PS/2
series computers. These machines have an MCA bus, so you need to
answer Y to "MCA support" as well and read
<file:Documentation/mca.txt>.
If the adapter isn't found during boot (a common problem for models
56, 57, 76, and 77) you'll need to use the 'ibmmcascsi=<pun>' kernel
option, where <pun> is the id of the SCSI subsystem (usually 7, but
if that doesn't work check your reference diskette). Owners of
model 95 with a LED-matrix-display can in addition activate some
activity info like under OS/2, but more informative, by setting
'ibmmcascsi=display' as an additional kernel parameter. Try "man
bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about how to
pass options to the kernel.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ibmmca.
config IBMMCA_SCSI_ORDER_STANDARD
bool "Standard SCSI-order"
depends on SCSI_IBMMCA
---help---
In the PC-world and in most modern SCSI-BIOS-setups, SCSI-hard disks
are assigned to the drive letters, starting with the lowest SCSI-id
(physical number -- pun) to be drive C:, as seen from DOS and
similar operating systems. When looking into papers describing the
ANSI-SCSI-standard, this assignment of drives appears to be wrong.
The SCSI-standard follows a hardware-hierarchy which says that id 7
has the highest priority and id 0 the lowest. Therefore, the host
adapters are still today everywhere placed as SCSI-id 7 by default.
In the SCSI-standard, the drive letters express the priority of the
disk. C: should be the hard disk, or a partition on it, with the
highest priority. This must therefore be the disk with the highest
SCSI-id (e.g. 6) and not the one with the lowest! IBM-BIOS kept the
original definition of the SCSI-standard as also industrial- and
process-control-machines, like VME-CPUs running under realtime-OSes
(e.g. LynxOS, OS9) do.
If you like to run Linux on your MCA-machine with the same
assignment of hard disks as seen from e.g. DOS or OS/2 on your
machine, which is in addition conformant to the SCSI-standard, you
must say Y here. This is also necessary for MCA-Linux users who want
to keep downward compatibility to older releases of the
IBM-MCA-SCSI-driver (older than driver-release 2.00 and older than
June 1997).
If you like to have the lowest SCSI-id assigned as drive C:, as
modern SCSI-BIOSes do, which does not conform to the standard, but
is widespread and common in the PC-world of today, you must say N
here. If unsure, say Y.
config IBMMCA_SCSI_DEV_RESET
bool "Reset SCSI-devices at boottime"
depends on SCSI_IBMMCA
---help---
By default, SCSI-devices are reset when the machine is powered on.
However, some devices exist, like special-control-devices,
SCSI-CNC-machines, SCSI-printer or scanners of older type, that do
not reset when switched on. If you say Y here, each device connected
to your SCSI-bus will be issued a reset-command after it has been
probed, while the kernel is booting. This may cause problems with
more modern devices, like hard disks, which do not appreciate these
reset commands, and can cause your system to hang. So say Y only if
you know that one of your older devices needs it; N is the safe
answer.
