Hi,

I am having exactly the same problem - anything with significant Disk
I/O takes I estimate twice as long.

I have a Dell 2x Xeon 2.20GHz with 2 70Gb U160/M 10000rpm FUJITSU
MAN3735MP disks.  It is running RedHat 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-5smp.

The top of the file /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0 has:

> Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 6.2.6
> aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs
>

I also get the

kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2

in the system messages.

I will have a go with the latest tarball and see what happens......


Regards
Aengus
