I have a BusLogic BT-958 (compiled in), pas16 (module), and usb-storage (module).
The problem shows up with only the BusLogic scsi device, and the other modules not loaded. (And it also shows up with 2 or more scsi drivers loaded) Note that on this machine the pas16 and usb-storage modules *were* installed, I removed them, and /proc/partitions still looped. (I can't readily reboot ATM)
Hope this helps, -- Bob
