Reviewing the diff between 2.6.7 and 2.6.8.1 doesn't show any significant
changes to the sym2 driver (lots of 0/NULL changes, and ppc64 is weird,
but not /that/ weird ;-)
So it must be something sym2 is using. The obvious candidate is the
change to drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_spi.c in the spi_dv_retrain
function. If you pull that out, does it work better?

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
