This looks related to the other SCSI module problems, and I think
that the Advansys driver has the same problems. The problem can
show up differently in different situations, but I think that this
is one manifestation. I've been told that the Advansys driver is
subject to the problem.
I'm building a new boot disk which should solve the problem for the
short term; I'll announce it here when it is ready.
I'm happy to say that it looks like the single bug which we think is
at the root of all of these problems been fixed, and so in the long
term we should be able to solve this problem without the special boot
disks I've been making.
Thanks for the bug report,
michaelkjohnson
