I don't have any problem on 1.1a...
Anyway, the linux 2.4.19pre changelog (
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/patch-2.4.19.log )
reveals that the aic7xxx driver has been updated several times.
> I second your opinion that it is a problem related to linux/gentoo/aic7xxx because not long ago I had windows installed and there were no problems at all.. do you have SMP as well by any chance? VIA chipset?
Linux kernel != Windows kernel. You're comparing oranges & apples... ;)
No SMP. No VIA chipset. Purely an aic7xxx driver problem...
I am disapointed that Gentoo used a testing (read beta) kernel on an
official release. This is likely to lead to the kind of problem we are
facing... :(
