Have you got your config as follows:

CONFIG_MCA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_IBMMCA=y
CONFIG_IBMMCA_SCSI_ORDER_STANDARD=y
# CONFIG_IBMMCA_SCSI_DEV_RESET is not set

If you set CONFIG_IBMMCA_SCSI_DEV_RESET some machines don't like it.

I have an 8556 and 2.2.0-pre8 works just fine with this config.

Some Model 56s are 8556 others 9556. There are also IBM disks for the
8556:

rd855657.exe
rf855657.exe

but I think the 9556 disks work on 8556 as well.
