I have a Alphastation 500/500 (== Alcor) with kernel 2.6.8-2_generic and
2.6.10 runnig without any *driver* problems. The qlogicisp driver is in
the debian 2.6.8-2 kernel replaced by qla1280 (in pristine kernel in
2.6.10 - debian backported the qla1280 extension for ISP cards) (be
careful when hotplug tries to load the older driver - two scsi drivers for
the same card crash...: a) don't compile qlogicisp then hotplug fails to
load it or b) put it in the discover/hotplug blacklists). For booting you
must also change mkinitrd to use the right driver when creating a initrd
(see other mails from this list).
A I forgot - with the new qla1280 driver CD burning with TEAC scsi burner
works also. 2.4.27 with qlogicisp crashes copletely when starting to burn!
