I can't get any of the 715/50's to run stably with the newer
SCSI driver. And after testing I can almost pinpoint with 95%
accuracy tha it's the new driver.

I have yet to go about running the latest kernel with the sim700
driver. Though if I get some time this afternoon I will.
(Just spent some time adding diskless 715/50's to our cluster)

Has anyone been able to get SCSI disks that are not from HP
to work on the 715's? (New terminator? Different terminator?)
