Not sure, but that line don't seem complete, but then i may be wrong, hav=

not looked at the code.

scsi: detected total

makes one think about :

scsi: detected total 2 devices (or something such).

What does the -test4 kernel say when there are no devices connected ?

Could it be that the number field, or whatever, containing the connected
devices is not correctly filed, thus hardboring a NULL pointer access or =
an
unallocated array entry access or something such ?
