I just thought I'd let you (and the aic7xxx) list know that I and at least one other person (Craig Condit) also have this problem. 2.1.126 appears to be the last Linux kernel that scans properly. I've tried kernels up to 2.1.131-ac2 with the same results you have. My configuration: Adaptec 2940UW UMAX Astra 610S AMD-640 Chipset MB AMD K6-300 128MB RAM I sent a message to the Linux Kernel list about a week ago, but they were too busy arguing about whether you'd get crushed by gravity if the earth stopped spinning and I doubt anyone even noticed. -Jon Burchmore To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
