I run a couple of 32-bit systems at work with onboard Adaptec 79xx controllers. |
| 16 |
Both had earlier 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels and both now have 2.6.12-r9 kernels. |
| 17 |
No problems on either. One runs a 4 disk software raid 5 setup (local Gentoo mirror). |

Both boot off the SCSI controller. |

fwiw- I never use "make oldconfig" Somewhere in the 2.6.x series I discovered that if |
| 22 |
I mount /boot, then run "make config", it would pick up my running config. Perhaps it |
| 23 |
was the System.map setting in /boot. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Regardless, I just do - |
| 26 |
make menuconfig |
| 27 |
make |
| 28 |
make modules_install |
| 29 |
make install |
| 30 |
vim /boot/grub/grub.conf |

Sounds like something else in your config isn't set up properly. |
