According to the linux-kernel archives, a few months ago the following
problem was discussed:

> Mar 9 22:39:17 discserv kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
> Mar 9 22:39:17 discserv kernel: Kernel panic: aic7xxx: (aic7xxx_free)
> Couldn't find a free SCB.

I am encountering the same problem when attempting to install the 2.0.29
kernel (slackware 3.2 CD distribution).

The archives do not mention any resolution to this, and I was wondering
if it has been fixed?

Thanks,

Mike
