I run a couple of 32-bit systems at work with onboard Adaptec 79xx controllers.
Both had earlier 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels and both now have 2.6.12-r9 kernels.
No problems on either. One runs a 4 disk software raid 5 setup (local Gentoo mirror).
Both boot off the SCSI controller.
fwiw- I never use "make oldconfig" Somewhere in the 2.6.x series I discovered that if
I mount /boot, then run "make config", it would pick up my running config. Perhaps it
was the System.map setting in /boot.
Regardless, I just do -
make menuconfig
make
make modules_install
make install
vim /boot/grub/grub.conf

Sounds like something else in your config isn't set up properly.
