It might surprise you to learn that I am typing this comment on a SCSI machine.
 If this bug affected every SCSI system, there would be a lot more activity here.

Jeff, do you have a VMWare setup where you can try to reproduce this?

The lspci output provided in this report implies that the device in question is
0x1000:0x0030, which I've verified maps to the mptbase driver in modules.pcimap.
 Is this driver being correctly included in the initramfs?
