Since installing vmware Server 1.0.4 build 56528 on a Windows XP host, I keep getting SCSI errors in my Linux 2.6.17-10-386 guest:
dmesg output:

There are only three vmware virtual hard disks (BusLogic adaptor) on SCSI 0:0, 0:1, 0:2 (sda, sdb, sdc).
So I wonder what all these errors with sd(d..z) mean.
Previous vmware Server 1.0.3 build 44356 did not show these errors. Kernel and modules have not been changed. Latest vmware tools installed without problems.
