It sounds like a bug has crept into the qlogic driver somewhere between
2.0.36 and 2.2 ... Probably one of those 64-bit things so that only
Alpha suffers ;-(
Digging into the code might be the best thing. Perhaps use a symbios
810 in the meantime (while debugging), works perfectly for me in 2.2.12
and pretty cheap.
