Important point, Scott, thanks.

a newer than the June 15th  kernel that has been running without  
problems causes or possibly now I will be able to say "caused" the mpt  
driver to panic on boot.

Here is so of the boot message copied from a laptop webcam :

mpt1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
mpt1: MPI Version=1.2.14.0
mpt1: mpt_wait_req(4) timed out
mpt1: read_cfg_header timed out
mpt1: mpt_wait_req(6) timed out
mpt1: port 0 enable timed out
mpt1: failed to enable port 0

then this repeats until the system hangs:
