Bad news

Hi,

yes, there are bad news for me :(

I tried 1.2.13, kernel `scsi' from slackware 3.0. Runs eight
parallel crashmes without any fault. Rebooted then into 2.0.20 with
this configuration:

CONFIG_MAX_16M=y
CONFIG_PCI=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF=y
CONFIG_M386=y
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_IOMAPPED=y
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_NO_DISCONNECT=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y

(all other is 'N'). crashme OOPSes and reboots immediately, so
I can't even write down OOPS sympthoms. And it is with slowest chipset
settings, and 1.2.13 was with fastest. I have absolutely no idea what
to do further. I'm just sure it _is_ a software bug somewhere in
kernel...
