There aren't any lockup conditions I'm aware of in the 5.0.14 driver, but there are lockup conditions with Netscape and X (actually, in the TCP/IP subsystem) of 2.0.33. I would recommend trying the 2.0.34pre15 patch and the aic7xxx-5.0.15 patch and see if the problems go away. You can get the 2.0.34pre15 patch from ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/alan/2.0.34pre or from http://linux.dialnet.net/LMP and you can get the 5.0.15 aic7xxx patch specifically for 2.0.34pre15 from ftp.dialnet.net:/pub/linux/aic7xxx/2.0.34pre15 -- Doug Ledford <dledford@dialnet.net> Opinions expressed are my own, but they should be everybody's.
