Qlogic driver hang

[Chris Worley <cworley@lnxi.com>]

In using the 6.06.00 version of the qlogic driver, the module load gets
to:

	Verifying chip...      

And hangs the system.  The older driver would print out:

	Firmware version:  3.01.13, Driver version 6.01.00

at this point.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Chris
