Well, not in normal operation, but when I do "rmmod qla2300", I do get most impressive oops backtrace. (With Amd64 machine.) This oops does happen with lattest Fedora Core Development kernel (as of yesterday) which is up to Linus 2.6.13-rc7. This crash didn't happen with vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4 from past April, but it did happen with a week old 2.6.13 FC5 snapshot. (I have been jumping back and forth in between them.) The reason for that rmmod ? I had to somehow get the card/driver to do whole re-init and to scan what LUNS are available in the SAN, while I was debugging my playround, and I just didn't like to do whole machine reboots...
