I am seeing the aic7xxx driver unload itself on 2.4.4 with sg loaded and with a user space app holding active handles. Subsequent closing and reopening of the /dev/sg0, etc. handles is not causing a modprobe autoload of the driver, as normally happens after the code gets into this state. Please advise.
