This is probably unrelated, but I have an SMP system here as well with an
Adaptec card using the aic7xxx driver. Awhile back, I had this driver
compiled as a module (primary drives are IDE - right now, the SCSI card is
there for a cd burner). ~50% of the time when I loaded the module (the
longer I waited after boot the more likely it was to happen), the system
would completely lock up.
The card was pulled out of a single cpu system - it worked great there.
This problem *appears* to have gone away with the driver compiled into the
kernel - haven't tried making it a module again recently. I think the
last time I tried this was at 2.2.14.
As I said, it's probably unrelated, but I thought it interesting that you
were experiencing lockups on a SMP box with that driver loaded...
