Anaconda trace back with more than 8 SCSI luns attached to qla2x00 driver 
with fs error. This is probably releated to scsi support beyond 8 luns 
(scan_scsi.c)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 7.0 with qlogic QLA2200 card and 10 scsi luns attached
2. When get to formatting will error out
3.
	

Actual Results:  get anaconda trace back error

Traceback (innermost last):

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2001-03-21 19:50:20 UTC
I do not believe more than 16 partitions per SCSI device are supported by the
kernel.  Can you avoid creating this many on that drive?

Comment 2 Ed Thibeault 2001-03-22 12:17:02 UTC
I am not making additional slice, I have 16 sd devices when I get this error. I 
am also using sg devices.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2001-04-11 16:29:54 UTC
The traceback indications that it failed on device /dev/sdp16. There can only be
devices /dev/sdp1 through /dev/sdp15 as far as I know. Can you reduce the number
of partitions on that device?
