Urm, well, if no-one ever tells the SCSI list it's unrealistic to expect
anyone to be working on it.  As far as I can tell, email was sent to
Andrew Vasquez only on 31 October. However, the fault looks to be
generic, so he probably just dropped it.

This seems to be the significant line from the trace:

Oct  7 23:35:07 t-host kernel: error 1

It looks like some type of sysfs/kobject race in SCSI ... and I think we
might have seen it before, just not able to reproduce it reliably.

My bet would be that the LIP which acts like a reset and occurs in the
middle of the scan and so the initialising object is killed on the first
scan but not yet dead and then can't be re-added on the second scan.

Hannes has patches to help with this, but they're rather complex, and
not really 2.6.24 material.  I could see if there's a simpler fix.
