Hi,
There's no evidence that this is a BusLogic driver bug (as opposed to
being a VMware bug), but as I couldn't find any mention on this list I
thought I'd bring it to peoples attention:
If you upgrade from vmware 1.0.3 to 1.0.4, when using the BusLogic
emulation (as opposed to LSI logic), the kernel reports existence of
many disks that do not actually exist. Accessing those disks obviously
causes hangs and error messages.

dmesg output from such a system:

This is similar but not the same as another vmware vs scsi driver problem:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=118590789115292&w=2
(that one is different and has been fixed in vmware)
If anyone is interested in investigating, I can pass on patches to
people who can test them.
Daniel
