Hi Gerd,
in commit 5b684b5a56e81f6f, you introduced an explicit check
to prevent adding SCSI controllers without attached disks
to the system.
There was a patch from Daniel removing that check, isn't that one merged
meanwhile? Hmm, looks like it isn't.
Your patch does more than just killing the check, especially the chunk
in lsi53c895a.c is clearly wrong. I'd prefer Daniels patch being merged
instead.
Is there any other method to introduce
disk-less controllers into the system?
device_add lsi,id=<hba-name>,addr=<slot.func>
adding disks then:
drive_add unused if=none,id=<disk-name>,file=...
device_add scsi-disk,drive=<disk-name>,bus=<hba-name>.0,scsi-id=<nr>
Note that this is the only way you can expect to work reliable with more
than one scsi adapter being present in the system.
cheers,
Gerd
