You don't need (unless there is a compeling reason) to compile qlogicfc (CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_FC) as the qla2xxx driver along with the 2200 and 2300 firmware mofules: CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=m CONFIG_SCSI_QLA22XX=m CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2300=m will be fine. > > Badari, is there some reason you are using qlogicfc?

Could you send me your .config file? I have a fealing you have and entry similar to the following: CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_FC=m in there. Don't compile the qlogicfc driver. > I hate to admit it - but I do use modules for qlogic disks.

Not sure there, but the removal of the qlogicfc driver could help clear up some of the noise, like... > (2) Sometimes, one of the driver complains something like > "PCI region already in use" and hangs on boot. this. the qlogicfc driver is being loaded before qla2xxx and the supporting 2200 firmware module. > BTW, (2) happens even if its modules and I can't boot my > machine.
