Hi,
I have a Digital AlphaStation 600 5/266, and I am trying to get kernel
2.6.15.3 running on it. I have however a problem with the qla1280 driver
for the SCSI controller. The only output I get is
qla1280: QLA1040 found on PCI bus 1, dev 2
qla1280: Failed mbox check
qla1280_mailbox_command: Command failed, mailbox0 = 0x0007, mailbox_out0 =
0x4003, istatus = 0x0000
m0 4003, m1 aaaa, m2 0000, m3 aa55
m4 55aa, m5 a5a5, m6 a5a5, m7 a5a5
...and booting naturally ends with a kernel panic because it cannot mount
the root filesystem.
We have received a similar bug report with nearly identical symptoms in
Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/313552. Submitter reports that qla1280
driver fails on 2.6 kernels with messages:

I took the liberty to CC Christoph Hellwig, the author of the qla1280
driver (hope it's ok!). Any ideas on how to fix this will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks and best regards,
