} Any chance of adding this to a `rogues list', Stefan?

My suggested FAILSAFE define will 
disable tags and permit an install
to succeed. 

The default number of tags can be 
set in the kernel config file.


The clean solution to this problem is 
to move the TAG code into the generic 
SCSI driver, and to have that code 
react to the ASC/ASCQ values returned
by the drive. In the case of the HP,
the command would be retried without
TAG and would succeed, then ...

This is the prefered solution, since
it doesn't even require a "rogues"
list entry for the drive ...
