Hi all! I've recently installed RedHat 5.1 on an EISA based 486. It contains a dual scsi controller, containing an AIC 7770 chip. This distribution ran fine with the stock 2.0.34 kernel. But after upgrading to 2.0.35, the kernel would hang after loading the aic-7xxx module. I first thought of an broken 7xxx-driver or a termination problem, but I narrowed it down to the Sony cd-rom attached to the primary channel. The other two hd's I use are connected to the secondary channel. When booting the scsi bios sees all the devices, when the kernel boots, it hangs. It times out trying to probe for scsi devices, doesn't see any, tries to reset the bus and probes again, but no luck again. This keeps going on and on. I've tried other settings on the cd-rom, but they don't make a difference. I don't have another scsi cdrom to test. Can someone help me out on this subject? I don't really need the cd-rom at the moment, but it would be nice if just worked. Grtz Gerben.
