Dave, Sorry, false alarm; "make mrproper" fixed that problem.
So here are some results from testing on my SMP box (dual Celeron abit); all these worked:
- advansys driver (*) holds my root fs - aha1542 driver (*) lightly tested - imm (*) 100 MB parallel port zip drive - scsi reset [part of James's reservation+reset patch] - usb-storage to an ATA maxtor 6L040J2 disk via a lava external enclosure - usb-storage to a sandisk (8MB compact flash card) - usb-storage to a casio digital camera - scsi_debug driver
Notes: - those drivers marked with (*) are broken on SMP machines in 2.5.7-pre2 - unfortunately my ieee1394 card is another box, the sbp2 driver works in 2.5.7-pre2 (although it does have some quirks: my lava box claims that an ATA disk is SCSI 6 compliant!) - as can be seen, several other subsystems depend on the scsi subsystem. My guess is the scsi subsystem will be seeing more ATA disks (and cd/dvd writers) in external enclosures via usb-2 and 1394 in the future - obviously the scsi mid level patches (I'm thinking of the report_lun+twin_inquiry) are not causing any problems. - I noticed the sym53c8xx-2 driver has been updated. There is a dc-390u3w on another machine here. If there is any problem, I'll contact you
So all in all the scsi subsystem looks pretty good in "dj1". I did lose some time when my keyboard + mouse disappeared (.config problems). For those still having trouble finding their mouse read Documentation/input/input.txt

Fine.
