Joseph, thanks a lot.
I'll try to read the logs tomorrow, but at first glance Tetsuo was right, I do not see a "long" sleep in that log. And it shows that the hack around kthread_run() in scsi_host_alloc() won't help. I am wondering why I didn't realize this before ;)
Hmm. Perhaps we should simply change mptsas_init() to block all signals until we have the right fix.
Oleg.
