Sigh. It sounds like some of the queueing code doesn't have sanity
checking. I guess I will have to dust off the 1542 in my test machine and
see if I can reproduce it. I am hoping that this won't be *too* hard to
reproduce and find.
Also on one of my machines I get a panic with aha1542 after
upgrading (downgrading?) to linux-2.3.99pre3.
At first sight it looks like all checks in scsi_merge
are combined in the wrong way - like
if (sth > max1 && sth_else > max2) error;
with && where I would expect ||.
Without investigating any further I made the patch below,
and after applying it the panic was gone.
[Don't apply it blindly - I wrote it without any attempt
to understand the code.]
