Problems getting target mode to work with isp driver

Hi,

I am having trouble getting target mode to work with isp. The setup is a
linux box as the initiator and a FreeBSD 8.1 box as the target. The linux
box has a qla2340 card while the target has a qla2342 card both hbas are
connected point to point.

The target is running a custom build kernel. Kernel configuration is the
GENERIC configuration, removing most of the drivers, but i have added the
following options relevant to isp

> device                da
111a117,122
> device                targ
> device                targbh
> options               CAMDEBUG
> options               VFS_AIO
> options               ISP_TARGET_MODE
> options               ISP_DEFAULT_ROLES=1

isp device hints are as below
hint.isp.0.role="target"
hint.isp.0.fullduplex="1"

To test target mode i ran the following
scsi_target 0:0:0 disk.out (i have tried with 0:1:0 also)

Once the FreeBSD target is up and running, on the linux side i load the
qlogic driver (/sbin/modprobe qla2xxx). The only error message i see on the
linux side is something on the lines - command

The FreeBSD box was earlier running linux with a target mode driver and the
same steps on the initiator used to work fine, so i guess i can rule out an
issue with the HBA hardware. I later reinstalled the box with the 8.1
release. I have changed the cabling a few times to rule out any faulty
cables.

Below are relevant syslog messages

Is there anything i'm missing here. Kindly help.
