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.
