Dave,
Sorry, false alarm; "make mrproper" fixed that problem.
So here are some results from testing on my SMP box
(dual Celeron abit); all these worked:
- advansys driver (*) holds my root fs
- aha1542 driver (*) lightly tested
- imm (*) 100 MB parallel port zip drive
- scsi reset [part of James's reservation+reset patch]
- usb-storage to an ATA maxtor 6L040J2 disk via a lava
external enclosure
- usb-storage to a sandisk (8MB compact flash card)
- usb-storage to a casio digital camera
- scsi_debug driver
Notes:
- those drivers marked with (*) are broken on SMP
machines in 2.5.7-pre2
- unfortunately my ieee1394 card is another box,
the sbp2 driver works in 2.5.7-pre2 (although
it does have some quirks: my lava box claims
that an ATA disk is SCSI 6 compliant!)
- as can be seen, several other subsystems depend on
the scsi subsystem. My guess is the scsi subsystem
will be seeing more ATA disks (and cd/dvd writers)
in external enclosures via usb-2 and 1394 in the
future
- obviously the scsi mid level patches (I'm thinking of
the report_lun+twin_inquiry) are not causing any
problems.
- I noticed the sym53c8xx-2 driver has been updated.
There is a dc-390u3w on another machine here. If
there is any problem, I'll contact you
So all in all the scsi subsystem looks pretty good in
"dj1". I did lose some time when my keyboard + mouse
disappeared (.config problems). For those still having
trouble finding their mouse read Documentation/input/input.txt

Fine.
