    Hi,

    Are you sure that you used the right System.map?

    Here, scsi_dispatch_cmd() isn't that large.. it's only 0x168 in size.

    (scsi_dispatch_cmd+0x1c6 is very close to scsi_wait_req():down (&sem))

    If you want to try some light troubleshooting, grab kdb..
    ftp://oss.sgi.com/www/projects/kdb/download/ix86/kdb-v1.5-2.4.0-test9-pre9.gz
    .. and check what both cpus were up to at lock time. A stack trace of
    both cpus might help developers locate the trouble.
