Disable the uha0 device via UserConfig (boot with the -c flag). In the Generic kernel, its probe stomps on the address space of the adpatec after the adaptec is successfully probed, causing the error. Once you're up, you should remove all unneeded devices in your kernel both to save space and to prevent these types of problems from cropping up when you update your kernel source. >robin -- Justin T.
