Well, AIC7xxx crashes on me with stock 2.4.5 kernel
(Athlon TB 850, ASUS A7V). I run 2.4.3 + zerocopy patches, and when I tried
to upgrade to 2.4.5, it crashes during boot while initializing the AIC7xxx
driver. I have written down the Oops numbers by hand, but I had to
reboot the server back to 2.4.3+zerocopy.
Here are relevant parts of dmesg on 2.4.3 (just to identify the
hardware):
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
