[BUG] modprobe qla2300 doesn't complete

[Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>]

Hi all,
qla2300 driver in 2.6.4-rc1 is showing a robustness problem.
When modprobe'ing the driver, it never completes initialization.
It continually prints the "Topology - (F_Port), Host Loop address 0xffff"
messages.  I know I have a bad disk or something connected to
the FC switch. And when I power off one of the disk arrays
(no raid controllers, just JBOD) the problem goes away...but I
expect better behavior from qla2300 driver.

I can make the system remotely available if someone wants to
debug this some more.

thanks,
grant
