And I'm not on any linux-* list, sorry. The next time I will write to=20
linux-scsi directly.

Both, at initialization time _and_ normal operation.

The 2.6.9-rc2 dmesg does list the same devices - but with=20
"sym0:0:0:phase change 6-7 ..." between the devices beeing detected.

I'll rebuild the kernel with the defective scsi driver (I reverted the=20
changes to get a functional system ...) when I'm back in the office in=20
some hours. The 2.6.9-rc2 does contain the domain validation changes, I=
=20
will take a look if the patch in 2.6.9-rc2 does change the version=20
string if this matters.

Have fun,
