I have a 2940AU with 1.21 bios. I just got the Slackware 3.3 Linux and when I installed it I got constant kernel stack corruption errors. So I went to the web to download other kernels to see if I could get an older more stable kernel so I could build a newer kernel. Well, ALL of them get the kernel stack corruption! I saw in a newsgroup that other people in the aic7xxx linux realm have gotten these stack corruptions, so I assume it is a buggy scsi driver. I noticed that there have been several bug fixes (off by 1 memory overwrite, serious memory overwrite problems in aic7xxx_proc.c, etc) to the 2.0.32 kernel but I cannot build because my kernel has stack corruptions and cannot build itself (Help! I've fallen and I can't "make zImage"! :-). Where can I get a 2.0.32 kernel that might fix my problem? Or are the bug fixes a red herring and I have more serious problems in my computer? TIA -- Tanvir
