I believe the oops on boot people have been seeing in 2.5.39 may be
related to problems inserting ide-scsi modules (sr_mod, mod_scsi,
ide-scsi). Since I have to get up early tomorrow I'm going to beg off for
tonight, but I can reliably produce the above oops. I'll provide full
data and explanations when I'm not so tired.
