Is this the same problem that I can't use the hole SCSI module stack
(st, aic7xxx, scsi-base) a second time?
I use a HP DAT and AHA 2940UW only sometime (modules:-) , because I
haven't an ULTRA WIDE SCSI hard disk, now:-(
First time everything goes smooth, but second time I get a deadlock
(sometimes I can use sysReQ to 'unmount', sometimes I have to hard
reset) and have to reboot:-(
