Arnaud,
Don't know about that hang but the oops is just
another example of the SCSI mid-level calling
scsc_init_malloc(..., GFP_DMA) followed by a
memset(). This one is in scan_scsis() .

The scsi_init_malloc() returned 0 cause it couldn't
find the requested memory under the 16MB level and
the following memset() exploded.

Didn't get much feedback to my
CONFIG_SCSI_NO_ISA proposal put on the linux-scsi
newsgroup last week? It would probably have stopped
this crash.

In Arnaud's case it will probably help if
CONFIG_SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380=m
was built into the kernel rather than a module.
