Jay Estabrook explains this error here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.ports.alpha/browse_thread/thread/784c9495caff2370/81f0049419756872?lnk=st&q=isp1020+qlogicisp+Estabrook&rnum=1&hl=en#81f0049419756872 Your post mentions that you are using the old qlogicisp driver. Try using qla1280 driver in the 2.6 kernel and this warning should disappear.
Matt Turner reports that Lee hasn't had this error in years. So, closing.
