Hi James,

I've recently got a Sun Blade 1000 box with a QLA2200 controller, and
I'm bumping into exact same problem with 2.6.22:

scsi 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type -1
scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access HITACHI DKR1C-J072FC D7V5 PQ: 0
ANSI: 3
kobject_add failed for 0:0:0:0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register
things with the same name in the same directory.
Call Trace:
[000000001000ac78] scsi_sysfs_add_sdev+0x2c/0x228 [scsi_mod]
[0000000010008a68] scsi_probe_and_add_lun+0x97c/0xab8 [scsi_mod]

[0000000000471d84] kthreadd+0xbc/0x160
error 1

After that the device fails to initialize. On rare occasions the
error does not trigger, and then machine boots fine. The complete boot
log can be found at http://www.wooyd.org/misc/dmesg-blade1000-2.6.22.log

I'm willing to test any patches you might have, as well as provide any
additional debugging information.

Best regards,
