I'm wondering if it's just me or is anyone else having problems.  I am 
running 2.6.11-r6 with no problems on a system with an Adaptec 39160 card. 
I tried to go to 2.6.12-r6 and r9 but kept getting kernel panics on boot. 
I have another system I'm installing Gentoo on that has an Adaptec 2940uw 
on and since I was using 2005.0 it had 2.6.12 on it and would not boot.  I 
found that on both systems if I build the aic7xxx as a module I can get 
further in the boot process.  I also tried 2005.1 but that is a disaster 
on both systems.  I tell it to noload=aic7xxx and it loads it anyway which 
results in system not running.

Is it just me <G>.

it have to ;)

I have an adaptec 2944 card and it works without problems (just did a big 
restore through it with an 2.6.12-gentoo* kernel). At least none while 
booting ;)

Did you try a newer kernel? What about the old driver (aic7xxx_old)?

Bye...

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.

Thanks.  I'll look into this and try it.

I went to 2.6.13 and now I can boot and run on one system so I'll check 
out the other soon.  The boot hung on coldplug pnp but I removed it and 
will troubleshoot it later.
