Yes. I've been busy, but what we should do is test hardened 2.6.37-r7
and compare this to vanilla 2.6.37.4. If it happens on both, then we
need to file a bug upstream while I revert the commits in .37 to the way
the pci bus is scanned for cciss.
This is popular hardware and I must solve this not only for both of us,
but others too. I think Chainsaw has like 24 HP DL 385's. I've asked
him to test but he hasn't gotten back to me.
