  I have just verified that my kernel built from September 19 sources also
stops at almost this same point [I get the debug message "autoconfiguration
done, spl back to 0x0" instead of the "Beginning old-style SCSI device
autoconfiguration" message.  I also don't know if the SCSI bus is busy,
as my drives don't have any lights.]

  I also can't get into the debugger at this point, so it's quite likely
it's hung up in the SII driver code with the interrupts blocked.

  I'm going to build a kernel from my September 9 sources and see if
the 3100 fails with that one as well.
