That was my "fix" for SCSI problems on my SE/30. And yes, it did fix it
for a while. When SCSI had interrupts turned on, it gave me an endless
string of SCSI errors, about commands timing out and coroutines not
running and whatnot. So I tried turning off interrupts, and that worked.
It must just poll SCSI or something. I didn't look into it. But then stuff
broke again in the 2.2.16 update. I'm getting different errors now,
usually after activating swap or loading the default keymap. I keep
getting "bad kernel buserrs" like the one above.
But if you turn SCSI ints on, you don't even get that far.
