I stumbled up this in early January. I posted a patch to linux-scsi, but it dosn't seem to be merged at this point. This problem will also occur with the aic79xx driver. Here's the location of the original thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=107307695430108&w=2 I just tried the patch on 2.6.3, and it still applies cleanly. Eric Kerin
