Oops: NULL Pointer With Adaptec AIC-7901X Chipset

["Joseph Cosby" <jocosby@hotmail.com>]

I'm getting a NULL Pointer oops with the AIC-7901X chipset from Adaptec.

Using a 2.6.9 kernel, and patching in the driver from Adaptec, I am getting 
a NULL pointer oops as linux is booting. The Null pointer is the variable 
sdev->request_queue, in the module scsi.c, in the function 
scsi_adjust_queue_depth.

ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.6.5-1.358.  Options used
     -v vmlinux (specified)
     -K (specified)
     -L (specified)
     -O (specified)
     -m System.map (specified)
