Don't use 1.0-485, use latest SVN version (2.0-something).
And be sure to use the compiled modules from open-iscsi tree.. not the ones
already in kernel.
So after you install the modules to /lib/modules/<version>, check that you
don't have the modules in two places.. remove the ones that come with the
kernel and run "depmod -a". If I remember correctly, open-iscsi does not
overwrite the modules already in the kernel, but installs copies to another
location which can cause problems (modprobe loads the original modules, not
the newly compiled ones).
