Subject:   ahb Bug still not resolved in 3.2-release (ref. kern/12495)

I've got a problem similar PR kern/12495 reported by Wilko Bulte.
With a freshly installed system, 3.2-release's GENERIC kernel fails to
attach a Nec 502 (6x Caddy) CDROM drive connected to AHA-1742.
dmesg reveals
(cd0:ahb0:0:3:0):	got CAM status 0x4a
"	"	"	fatal error, failed to attach to device
"	"	"	lost device
"	"	"	removing device entry
Unlike Wilko's experiences, this happens with an *installed* system.
In fact, I am not completely sure if I probably used a different drive
during installation. Any post install modifications can only be run
over a network connection (just like Wilko did). The drive itself and
whole SCSI subsystem run fine with Warp SMP, NT351SMP, Linux 2.2
(the latter has a horrible driver bug which only turns out in SMP mode,
did 'fix' it by disabling EISA to PCI buffers in chipset setup).
I have tried various modifications to GENERIC kernel, wired-down and
unwired devices, got unbootable kernels and reverted - nothing helps.
Another oberservation: if machine is restarted (issuing 'reboot') after
successful SMP boot (without CDROM), the next reboot fails with
SMP: AP CPU #1 launched! <- normally, SCSI probing starts here
(probe0:ahb0:0:0:0) ECB 0xc2e83e80 - timed out
(probe0:ahb0:0:0:0) Queuing BDR
ahb0: no longer in timeout
[...]
(probe0:ahb0:0:0:0) ECB 0xc2e83e80 - timed out
System only restarts successfully after reset button is pressed once.
