um, no, worse that that: the scsi error kicks in for sym0:0:0:

sym0:0:0: DEVICE RESET operation started.
(...then it would continue until sym0:15:0, see [1])

then the machine locked up completely, not even SYSRQ works any more.
that happened when booting with "noresidual" and even with PREP_RESIDUAL=n
(in the .config).

thanks,
Christian.
