I don't have any problem on 1.1a... |

Anyway, the linux 2.4.19pre changelog ( |
| 17 |
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/patch-2.4.19.log ) |
| 18 |
reveals that the aic7xxx driver has been updated several times. |

> I second your opinion that it is a problem related to linux/gentoo/aic7xxx because not long ago I had windows installed and there were no problems at all.. do you have SMP as well by any chance? VIA chipset? |

Linux kernel != Windows kernel. You're comparing oranges & apples... ;) |
| 23 |
No SMP. No VIA chipset. Purely an aic7xxx driver problem... |

I am disapointed that Gentoo used a testing (read beta) kernel on an |
| 26 |
official release. This is likely to lead to the kind of problem we are |
| 27 |
facing... :( |
