All right, I've still had no luck figuring out what's making my system
crash during RH 4.0 installation while it probes my SCSI bus, but here's
what the system finds:

<4>scsi0: AdvanSys SCSI 1.5: PCI (20 CDB):  BIOS 0, IO DCC0-DCCF, IRQ 11
<4>scsi: 1 host.
<4>  Vendor: iomega      Model: jaz 1GB          Rev: G.60
<4>  Type: Direct-Access                         ANSI SCSI revision: 02
<4>Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0
<4>Attempt to allocate device channel 0, target 4, lun 0
<0>Kernel panic: No device found in allocate_device

Could someone who knows more about the kernel or the SCSI code give me a
better idea of what's going on here?  Obviously, the autoprobe works, and
the probe of the bus for devices finds my Jaz drive.  What is
allocate_device?  How should I go about troubleshooting this problem.

I went ahead and ordered the official 4.0, but I'd love to get this figured
out before it arrives--hey, then I won't have to bother the tech support
folks.

Thanks,
Matthew
