Just for the record the Alpha I'm using two QLA2340 cards on has four
CPUs and boots and runs fine with a NetBSD-1.6.x MP kernel, so if it's
an SMP issue then maybe it's only an issue on i386?

The interrupt problems on the alpha _seem_ to be unrelated to isp(4),
but the isp devices are the worst affected when any problems crop up
(same error message during probe and the boot never completes).

Getting rid of the worst-offending driver (ohci), and either getting rid
of the second worst (pciide), or not accessing the atapi CDROM attached
to it, seems to avoid any other issues (except the "bad execution
throttle of 0- using 16" warning).  Accessing the atapi CDROM, if the
driver is present, causes the SCSI system disks on ahc0 to lock up too
though, and perhaps other things would be seen to be wonky too if I
could load the programs necessary to try them out.  :-)

Of course I've not really hammered super-hard on the system yet -- just
a few simultaneous DDs and such...

FYI here's the first card with a PCI_CONFIG_DUMP kernel -- whole dmesg
on request:
