I spoke too soon, without removing and re-inserting the eata module before any filesystems on disks attached to the DPT controller were mounted, I'd get the following messages, similar to ones previously reported: sd 0:0:6:0: tag#0 abort, mbox 1. EATA0: abort, mbox 1 is in use. sd 0:0:6:0: tag#0 reset, enter. EATA0: reset, mbox 1 in reset. EATA0: reset, board reset done, enabling interrupts. EATA0: reset, interrupts disabled, loops 100415. EATA0, reset, mbox 1 locked, DID_RESET, done. EATA0: reset, exit, done. and so on, finally hanging after printing "kexec_core: Starting new kernel" (I have a photo of the messages if they're needed). So I'm still using the new patch but have to continue to remove and reinsert eata at start-up before any attempts to mount disks attatched to the DPT SCSI controller. Arthur.
