hello,
(sorry for posting this again, but the kind solution given
by Patrick Mansfield turn out to be no solution at all.
Thanks anyways :)
i recently compiled 2.5.67-ac1 on my machine which uses the
aic7xxx driver for an old adaptec 2940 scsi controller.
When booting, the kernel panics after loading the scsi driver
with the following message:
Process swapper (pid: 1, threadinfo=dbf8e000 task=dbf8c040)
Stack: c15259a8 c15259a8 00000001 00000002 dbf8fe48 c022cd1a c15259a8 000000ff

<0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
Note: this does not happen with 2.4.20, 2.4.21-pre7, 2.4.21-pre7-ac1 or 2.5.67-bk8
It does, however happen with 2.5.67-ac2, but the error message is some lines longer
and some of the addresses have changed.
I'd be really grateful for any insight on this problem.
Greetings, Chris
