Unfortunately I'm seeing the same behavior with 2.0.31-pre-9. I also
have an EISA 2740-Twin with the B bus empty. This is on a mixed
SCSI/IDE SMP system.
Exact transcript available upon request. (I'll have to wire up a serial
console or something - it scrolls lots of stuff, and quickly.)
For now I've copied aic7xxx* from 2.0.30 and I am having no problems.
I'll be happy to work with anyone interested to help get this going for
2.0.31. As Steve reports, the system is solid otherwise, so far (even
with SMP.)
