Hi,

I have a system that won't do large compiles like the kernel.

The parts list includes:
    Gigabyte GA-6BXDS rev 1.7 MotherBoard 
    AIC-7895P on the mobo
        CH A -  bus 0 targ 0 lun 0 - Seagate Barracuda ST34501W
        CH B -  bus 0 targ 1 lun 0 - Seagate Barracuda ST39173LW
                bus 0 targ 2 lun 0 - Seagate Barracuda ST39173W
    256MB ECC RAM (2*128MB sticks)
    1 - 400Mhz PII 512K L2
    Trident 9875 VGA
    Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100+
    3.5" Floppy 1.44MB
    104-key Keyboard

When compiling the kernel with all parts installed, it will get partway
through the compile and hard lock.  The keyboard will not respond and a 
power-cycle is required.

If I remove the EtherExpress card the compile completes.  So I bought 
a new card thinking that this one had gone bad.  No such luck.  I have 
swapped out the memory.  I've swapped the video.  I can't swap out the 
disks but have removed all but the 4.5GB drive with the same results.

The only wierd thing in my dmesg output seems to be a warning about using
too many ports on the controller even when only one port is in use.

So, I turn to you guys.  What have I missed?  Is there a problem with the
"P" model of this SCSI chip?  My other machines are using the AIC-7895 
without problems.  The SCSI BIOS is set to auto-Termination and the last
drive on each of the two cables is terminated.

dmesg with GENERIC kernel: (I've stripped the unfound driver messages)
