[parisc-linux] SCSI (?) bug

[Joel Soete]

Duno if it could help but latest git src (dated this 2007-01-03) boot fine on my d380 32bit smp system (only internal disk, 
i.e. ncr53c8xx driver only).

Otoh I was unable to boot smp 64bit (same src) on N4k: it hang after
NET: Registered protocol family 2

nosmp boot option solve the pb.

That said I also encountered the same symptome while trying to install opensuse 10.2 on an old smp i386 boxe, though.

Sorry but I couldn't help more for the moment.
