    The only scsi device I have is a scsi tape drive, the hdisk and the cdrom
    are ide.

    I did not compile a kernel. My box is running the standard stuff that comes
    with SuSE 7.1 for sparc. I am running the 2.4 kernel

    If it's a 'old' kernel bug, is there a fix? :-)

    Thanks for the response.

    Looks like a process tries to access a SCSI streamer.

    A process tries to access a SCSI harddisk.

    SCSI cdrom.

    Do you have a scsi system ? Or an self compiled kernel ?
    If this is our standard kernel on a SCSI system it looks
    like the old kernel bug, that the kernel daemon tries to
    load modules which are compiled into the kernel.
