list]
Booting up 2.1.125 on our main webserver results in an infinite loop
of bus resets as the driver attempts to probe the devices.
The system has an Asus p2l97-ds twin PII M/board with onboard aic7880,
and in addition to this we also have an adaptec 3940 for a grand total
of 3 ultra-narrow scsi chains.
[boot messages from 2.1.124]

At the point marked [***] above, the 5.1 driver in 2.1.125 goes into
an infinite 'lets reset the bus on scsi0' loop.
This is something of a showstopper bug for us.
