If so, is there any change that it can be retested under a 2.6.29-based kernel? Thanks. <searches through a wordwrapped mess.

Really, given the frequency and imaginativeness with which drivers abuse sysfs, the driver-core should be more robust. Kay, would you have time to plunk through this and see if we can strengthen the sysfs code a bit so it doesn't crash? But the core bug is presumably in the mptsas driver. Perhaps you can also see if you can work out what it did wrong?
