Hey -
cciss hardware currently can continue to send responses to scsi commands
after the host system has undergone a kexec reboot. The way the drier is
currently written, reception of these commands results in a BUG halt, since it
can't match the response to any issued command since the boot. This patch
corrects that by using the kexec reset_devices command line paramter to force
ignore any commands that it cant correlate.
Regards
Neil
