Is it an OOPS or just a BUG? I got a BUG until I applied the patch, now
my SCSI devices don't actually work, but I don't get an OOPS.

See my other post on the patch, or write my off-list if you can't find it.

Hard to say - the first part scrolls off screen immediately, then
the machine hangs. All I see is the last part of a
backtrace and a machine that don't respond to anything but the
reset and power switches.

This is fixed in 2.5.44 though, there were some known issues with
the md driver and vfs.
