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.
