Just co -pa49 and boot again but strange behaviour (as with pa45).

If you apply the attached patch it will suppress the synchronous

Hello James,
Unfortunately I have'nt anymore -pa49 sources to check your patch but I still have the binary and a scsi terminator (which was removed for other test).
So I reboot with the vmlinux-2.4.9-pa49 end ending the scsi chain by the terminator and it works fine.
Thanks a lot for remarks and help,
joel.
