>Description:
whilst attempting a `portsnap fetch` on a HP DL585 updated to 8.0-BETA1 I get the following kernel messages:
Jul 13 14:23:40 gboff01-gs-me02 kernel: ciss0: invalid command, offense size 0 at 52, value 0x0, function ciss_cam_complete

>How-To-Repeat:
Install 8.0-BETA1 on a HP DL585G1, attempt any significant disk activity.
>Fix:
The following patch to cissvar.h seems to correct the issue, unsure if this is the correct fix:

                                 / sizeof(struct ciss_sg_entry))

With the kernel recompiled, which it wouldn't survive without the patch, I can `portsnap fetch` and `portsnap extract` without errors.
