1. Hmm, the patch looks useless: if the port is disabled, there should
be a error message saying "port disabled. ignoring". But we don't see such
message. So, please disregard the patch. If you have time, please try if any
previous kernel version like 2.6.17 to 2.6.19 works.

It seems scsi_add_host() is completed for scsi11. But the boot probe
detects nothing. Adding Tejun to the cc list for advice.
