Dual G5 XServe + Fibre Channel panics

[frenzy at frenzy.org]

I've finally come up with a mostly working solution. My hardware is a dual 
G5 xserve, now with a Qlogic ISP2312 fibre channel adapter.

I used the following drivers from Qlogic. Version 8.00.03
qla2xxx_conf qla2xxx qla2300

My kernel config included the following entries.

CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2300=m

After installing a new kernel, I built and installed the QLogic kernel 
modules.

** Here is the important step **

I am still getting an error as defined below. Only the first port seems to 
work with these drivers. The second port will be unresponsive. I had to 
load the module in rc.local instead of modprobe.conf so that it would 
work. When I had the entries in modprobe.conf the boot process would 
freeze.

/etc/modprobe.conf:
remove qla2xxx /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove qla2xxx && { 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove qla2xxx_conf; }

/etc/rc.local:
modprobe -v qla2xxx_conf
modprobe -v qla2300
mount /raid0


Thanks to all who responded. 

Below is the output from my error message. I am just going to ignore it 
until later when I have some free time to diagnose the problem and delve 
into driver code.
