Quoting Carlo E. Prelz (fluido@fluido.as):

I made some more research. Eventually, it seems the problem is in this
patch that was included in 2.4.4:

        return 0;
    shpnt->irq = interrupt_level;

+ scsi_set_pci_device(shpnt->pci_dev, pdev);
    shpnt->n_io_port = 0x10;
    print_banner( shpnt );

Well, but my card is ISA! It should not set any PCI device.

I applied the following patch, and the problem disappeared:

I hope this is the right way...
