FWIW,The previous email described some of my scsii problems.
(partitions dreated by DPT adapter cause kernel to hang in boot
when DPT is replaced with adaptec 2940au). this kernel was not
yet patched with raid.
One "rumour" that I heard was that "changes in the scsi subsystem
for 2.0.32 were so extensive that the aic7xxx driver broke" although
I have no way of verifying the truth/falsehood of this.
Therefore, I may as well spread the rumour ...
Can you try 2.0.29 w/ raid 1, and see if the problems continue?
