I basically did a 'make clean' in my kernel tree, and rebuilt with

I installed on the initiator, but that's clearly not what made a
difference as the HBA boot code and Windows both work with the target
now. Consider me very confused.
Mmmm, I don't see why gcc would have an effect here. The INQUIRY bug
mentioned could be having an effect, as some initiators really don't
like getting EVPD=0x83 filled with uninitialized memory.. ;)
I agree. Perhaps when I applied the patch the affected files weren't
rebuilt for some reason. Ah the joys of make.
Obviously now I'll be doing a bunch more testing, and rebooting my
target and initiator a lot to see if it all breaks again.
Cool. FYI you'll want to also grab v3.6.6 when it comes out to make
your target build has the following patches that are now in
stable-queue.git:

Noted. Thanks, I'll make sure to keep my eye out for it.
So far, it seems to be holding up very well. Much faster and lower
latency than iSCSI over gigabit ethernet, of course... :-)
Cheers,
Chris
