Re: AIC7xxx kernel problem with 2.4.2[234] kernels

[Stephen Smoogen]

Just so that people googling on this in later months days, years..
versus email me directly.. it seems to be a hardware difference with the
U2 LVD Carrier that is causing the problem with the timeouts. I am
trying to get a disk, carrier, and plug to Justin so that he can run a
SCSI analyzer on it to find out what this is 'mangling'. 

This is probably a bad workaround for anyone else seeing this but a way
to get the system to boot was turn off DV in the module for the
controller:  dv:{0,0,0,0} allowed for the system to boot and work pretty
well with a bonnie test. Justin and others would know if it were good.
