Error Message: Stop 0x0000000A in ScsiPort.sys on SMP Systems (237699)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0

This article was previously published under Q237699

SYMPTOMS

When you run a program that makes a ScsiBusScan() call (for example, Disk Administrator), the following error message may be displayed on a blue screen:
STOP 0x0000000A (0x0000000C, 0x0000000A, 0x00000001, 0x801de690)
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Address 801de690 has base at 801de000 - scsiport.sys
NOTE: The fourth parameter may vary from system to system, but is always based in Scsiport.sys.

CAUSE

The problem may occur if there are multiple programs issuing the IOCTL_SCSI_RESCAN_BUS I/O control at the same time. There is a race condition that can cause the same request to get issued twice.
