Are you running a 64 bit kernel?  Did you compile sst for 64 bit?  I don't
know that that's the problem, it's just the only thing I can think of.

That probably won't happen until the drives can get themselves loaded
properly once.

I think this is just some simple bad code (as compared with complex bad
code :-) that is not expecting the device open to fail, or something
down that path.  Yes, it should be fixed to not do this, but is not your
real problem.

Why are you using sstest on the sgen device?  I thought sst and sgen
used completely different ioctl formats.

I thought someone posted intructions on using sgen with chg-scsi in the
last month or two.  I'd start by searching for sgen.
