Hello, I have recently begun upgrading my Linux systems to 2.4.2 from 2.2.18. The aic7xxx driver is at 5.2.0 in the official 2.4.2 distribution. The first system I chose to upgrade is a K6/3-450 with a Seagate ST34501W running at 40MB/s. There is also a Toshiba XM-6201TA running at 5MB/s. Overall this system has been stable on 2.2.18, running more than 3 months between reboots, usually due to power failures. Unfortunately, this system appears to hang during boot right after the downloading 422 instructions into the seqeuncer message. I turned on the verbose:0x1ffff option at boot and the hang actually occurs after the message: (scsi0) Resetting Channel which is the next message after the downloading 422 instructions... message. I found a website at people.redhat.com/dledford and fetched the 5.2.3 patch. This patch applied clean, so I rebuilt the kernel (make dep make bzImage) and got the same results as shown above, except now 436 instructions are downloaded into the sequencer. Here is a rough list of the last few messages with 5.2.3 and verbose=0x1ffff: aic7xxx: AHA-294X .... at PCI 0/8/0 aic7xxx: PCI-COMMAND was 0x7 aic7xxx: DEV-CONFIG was 0x1580 aic7xxx: Loadinf serial EEPROM...done (scsi0) Adaptec AHA-294X ... at PCI0/8/0 (scsi0) Wide ...

Also, if there is a place I can search the linux-scsi mailing list archives, perhaps this problem is discussed there.
