But you're able to get it to work fine with the 2.0.34 kernel? I can't compile the one that came with Slackware, so I guess I'll download a clean copy off kernel.org or something. Maybe I can swap in the AIC7xxx driver from the 2.0.34 kernel into 2.0.35. The only thing is, I don't have total control over this beasty, so I don't want to accidentally down the machine for any period of time. On Mon, 24 Aug 1998, W.
