Hi James, I've recently got a Sun Blade 1000 box with a QLA2200 controller, and I'm bumping into exact same problem with 2.6.22: scsi 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type -1 scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access HITACHI DKR1C-J072FC D7V5 PQ: 0 ANSI: 3 kobject_add failed for 0:0:0:0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

On rare occasions the error does not trigger, and then machine boots fine. The complete boot log can be found at http://www.wooyd.org/misc/dmesg-blade1000-2.6.22.log I'm willing to test any patches you might have, as well as provide any additional debugging information.
