I'm still in the position of having 2x 3940 cards that I am unable to use. I am not a C expert otherwise I would attempt a fix myself. Is there any likelihood of this problem being addressed (I assume that I can't be the only person trying to use these cards wih more than 1 hd)

Yours hopefully

Nick

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.
