As the king (Harald Koenig) pointed out ;-) the real problem might be 
that the mid level SCSI code expectes the results of the "get defects 
list" to fit in a single page. Most probably this is not true for 
some drives. I don't know what the internal effects of such an 
overrun are, but the new aic7xxx driver jokes badly.

If anyone needs specific messages, please tell me -- remember I'll 
have to crash my system for it....
