I'm trying to get a firm answer from the folks who originally
discvoered the problem some time back, it seems you have two options:

 - during installation of RHEL4 (and not RHEL4U1), load with the
   'noprobe' option:

	linux noprobe

   and manually select the appropriate drivers to load.

 - (post installation) modify the /etc/modprobe.conf to and rename the
   qla2300 entry to qla2322 (i.e.):

	alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2322

   modify the modules.pcimap table to load qla2322 for the 2322
   device-id:

	qla2300		0x00001077	0x00002322	...

   to:

	qla2322		0x00001077	0x00002322	...


Beyond that, I'd suggest you log a report with Redhat, as that's the
extent of the workaround knowledge without going to RHEL4U1.

Hope this helps,
Andrew Vasquez
