ips did scsi_add_host(sh, NULL) so scsi_dma_map uses shost_gendev.parent that isn't initialized properly, then the kernel crashes. 2.6.23 and 2.6.24 have this bug.
We can fix this by calling scsi_add_host with pdev->dev, in the standard way (like the following way) but this bug was fixed in the current Linus tree by: commit 2551a13e61d3c3df6c2da6de5a3ece78e6d67111 Author: Jeff Garzik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu Dec 13 16:14:10 2007 -0800 [SCSI] ips: handle scsi_add_host() failure, and other err cleanups James, the legitimate way to fix stable trees is sending this commit (not sending a patch that was not committed upstream)?
