I managed to get access to the formerly-vger cvs tree, and have copied the
updated qlogicisp and sym53c8xx driver files over and built a new vmlinux. I
now don't get an oops at the device detection stage, I get a continued string of
"qlogicisp: mbox_command loop timeout" messages and adapter resets. Anyone have
any ideas on what caused this/how further to debug? (Admit my lack of expertise
on SCSI drivers...*sigh*)
