Hi

I just discovered a reproducable PPA and/or SCSI
OOPS in 2.0.32

I have a aha1520 scsi card in my computer and
I have the driver for it compiled as a module.
I allso have the parallel port zip driver (ppa.o)
compiled as a module. I dont load these modules
during boot, I usually insmod them only when
needed. No device is connected to my aha1520
controler.

When doing
mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
with no scsi device attached to my computer
(neither to the aha1520 or the zip drive connected
to my parallel port) and no SCSI modules loaded
I get an oops.

When doing
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cdrom
(no devices and no modules)
all I get is a complaint that I should specify
the filesystem type.

Here is the oops and the output from ksymoops
[root@kasmir /root]# lsmod

PS. Are ther any updates to the ISDN drivers planned for 2.0.33?
It seems that it is quite unstable. I frequently
get oopses from it when using multilink PPP.
