I understood the qla2300 was hard of herring from the get-go...

So... do I use a qla2300_conf to chop down the tallest tree in the
forest,
or do I stick with the herring? :-)

Looks like the diff is that qla2300_conf is not being included in the
custom ram disk, even though it is in /etc/modules.conf when the
ramdisk is created.
boot with custom qlogic ram disk:
[root at pecan root]# lsmod | grep qla

I had added the qla2300_conf to /etc/modules.conf after the breakage.
It was
not there for the working 27 kernel. I found a comment in qlogic docs
about it
so I added it. Why is it not being included in the ram disk? Is this
just
a red herring, http://www.fallacyfiles.org/redherrf.html

your /etc/modules.conf ?
