nice, please check out 2.6.23-rc7 from trunk and
see if it makes a difference, see apt lines
-> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel
if aboves makes *no* progress, then please holler
upstream in bugzilla.kernel.org and let us know
the upstream bug number.
debian carries no scsi specific patches, although
the changer was long time such a boy.
best regards
