I've had numerous Linux kernel 2.0.34 introduced a new version of the Adaptec driver, 5.0. This move was, IMHO, a very bad one for a maintenance kernel since 5.0 broke with several Adaptec cards. This sort of mistake is really bad for the reputation of Linux, which is otherwise a very stable and serious operating system. The 5.0 driver should have been included in the experimental 2.1.* kernels instead. > (I'm just wondering why the driver went south, and trying to find the > best way to use a modern kernel *and* avoid random crashes tickled by > SCSI problems.)
