Then try to make a new kernel with DDB. It will enter ddb when a panic

Try to use the just posted new versions of his SCSI tape driver stuff.
If you are having timeout out panics with the SCSI stuff: I've heart of
this problem before and *every* time it was due to an incorrect placement

That is due to your hardware. These interrupts were happening too with
your pre-2.3.3 kernels, though as of 2.3.3 they are reported.
