The Red Hat 5.2 shipped kernel does indeed contain a newer AHA2940 driver

than the default. However as of 2.2.10 the kernel also contains the
updated

aic7xxx driver, so if it was that then 2.2.10 should have suddenely
worked

relibly.

When it hangs does it a) still respond to pings b) does right-alt scrolllock

a few times show anything (you will want to be outside of X11). If
so then

the data from b) wil help find any hang. If not then you probably want

to run the kernel debug patch and see what it reports

 

In my case it does not respond to ping ...

i'll try the right-alt scrolllock stuff on the next ( if any ;-) )
hang ...
