In a nutshell: "it shouldn't happen, but that's quite an old driver, perhaps you could try upgrading" Forgive me for not taking the advice immediately, but if you knew how long I'd been looking at this, how much equipment isolated/replaced and how many versions of the qla driver I build/tried *before* 6.04... When my colleague raised this on lkml 12-18months ago (before we knew it was heat related) he had an off-list reply from someone who had spent a long time chasing the same error - and traced it to heat sensitivity (within operating spec). I originially concluded that it was perhaps a bad batch of cards - hence replacing all the 2300s with 2340s. I may eventually replace the driver as I have almost run out of options - but I was hoping for something a little more scientific after my past driver upgrades.
