<P><FONT SIZE=2>Arnaud,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Don't know about that hang but the oops is just</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>another example of the SCSI mid-level calling</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>scsc_init_malloc(..., GFP_DMA) followed by a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>memset(). This one is in scan_scsis() .</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The scsi_init_malloc() returned 0 cause it couldn't</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>find the requested memory under the 16MB level and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the following memset() exploded.</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Didn't get much feedback to my</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>CONFIG_SCSI_NO_ISA proposal put on the linux-scsi</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>newsgroup last week? It would probably have stopped</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>this crash.</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In Arnaud's case it will probably help if</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>CONFIG_SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380=m</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>was built into the kernel rather than a module.</FONT>
</P>
