Bryce, have we seen this issue before with 7.0?
I'm aware that we had a problem with the QLOGIC ISP 1020 in the 2.4 kernel which we fixed however 7.0 is based on linux 2.2.X which I was not aware of any problems. Two ways out,.. download the 7.1 RPMS for Alpha that we finished of yesterday and use that or borrow/replace the QLOGIC controller with an adaptec 2940 (known working). I don't have a DS10 with a QLOGIC 1020 in it to test with. I dunno how you'd want to proceed here
You might try using Red Hat Linux 7.1 for Alpha. It is available at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/7.1/en/iso/alpha/. Please reopen this bug if you see the issue with 7.1.
