I tried the 2.4.0-test8 kernel on a new system I have here and I'm
seeing some STRANGE behavior with scsi disk detection when using
the on board Adaptec AIC-78XX controllers. There is only ONE scsi
disk and yet the kernel idents sda and sdb. If I list out the
partitions with fdisk on the two disks, they are identical.
I can umount one partition on sda and then remount the identical
partition from sdb.
The relevent dmesg stuff is:
(scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 1/6/0

and then later in the dmesg the following shows up:

Notice the the channel, id, and lun are the same for
sdb as sda from earlier.
The fdisk output is:

/dev/sda7 is /tmp so I tried umounting it and then remounting
/dev/sdb7 as /tmp and it WORKED!?
