I made some changes to the 5.1.17 version of the aic7xxx driver that might
effect your problem.  That driver is in the 2.2.10 kernel now.  If you could
try that and let me know if it doesn't solve your problem, I would appreciate
it.
 

Have tried 5.1.17 with kernel 2.0.36 but it is still the same, as soon as 2 drives talk at the same time the system just dies. I don't know what else I can tell you to be of more help apart from the fact that all was fine with 2.0.33 :-(   However we couldn't remain libc5 based for ever.
