I just discovered a reproducable PPA and/or SCSI
OOPS in 2.0.32
I have a aha1520 scsi card in my computer and
I have the driver for it compiled as a module.
I allso have the parallel port zip driver (ppa.o)
compiled as a module. I dont load these modules
during boot, I usually insmod them only when
needed. No device is connected to my aha1520
controler.
When doing
mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
with no scsi device attached to my computer
(neither to the aha1520 or the zip drive connected
to my parallel port) and no SCSI modules loaded
I get an oops.
When doing
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cdrom
(no devices and no modules)
all I get is a complaint that I should specify
the filesystem type.
Here is the oops and the output from ksymoops

PS. Are ther any updates to the ISDN drivers planned for 2.0.33?
It seems that it is quite unstable. I frequently
get oopses from it when using multilink PPP.
