Thanks Seth and Austin.
We don;t have any machine to test in this momment, but I'll need to

Austin: where can I get kernel you mentioned below? (2.4.18-17 sgi kernel)
I can take care about qlogic module. That is not a problem.
Let see if someody else can give his/her feedback.
Thanks again and have good weekend.
