Greetings, I'm running aicxxx 5.1.31 (the latest version, to my knowledge) on Red Hat 7, and I'm seeing period system lock-ups that appear to be in the aic7xxx driver. First, the configuration: - Supermicro PIIIDM3 motherboard, dual PIII/733 CPUs, 512 Mb memory, onboard Adaptec SCSI-160 host adaptor - SCSI-160 LVD bus with one Seagate 15000 RPM 18 Gb drive. Nothing else on SCSI bus. Termination on motherboard and the LVD cable. - RH7 with all current updates from Red Hat, running the 2.2.16smp kernel as distributed with RH7 The system ran rock-solid under Red Hat 6.2 for a couple months prior to the RH7 upgrade. Not a single system lock-up under 6.2. Under RH7, during heavy disk activity (like my nightly rsync cron job that backs up my /home to my file server), the system "locks". It can still be pinged on the network, and some things still function. For example, I can telnet to it, but never get a login prompt; I can press a key, clear the screen saver, but can't do anything in any windows. A couple of times, I've been able to switch over to the system console, and I've seen several "SCSI Bus Resetting" error messages repeating ad infinitum. So, it's not a complete kernel panic or lock, but the system is nonetheless inoperable. Has anyone else here seen similar problems? Is this a known bug in 5.1.31? Is there a patch or a newer version that might fix the problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll follow-up to the group with any responses or other useful information that I get.
