Well, it blew up with a nice, shiny oops right after detecting all the SCSI
adapters (5 QLogic, 1 Symbios), and right as it would start to detect each
SCSI disk. My guess is that the qlogic driver isn't updated yet - could you
remind me how to get to vger's cvs? (It's amazing...all this technology and
I can't figure it out - doesn't help that cvs.on.openprojects.net hasn't been
updated in months... ;)
