Also symlink for config I think. Though that probably makes no boot
time difference at all. Anyway, do this in addition to mkinitrd
/boot/xXxX and make the symlink for that assuming you need a module in
there for boot as myself. Juan: 2 q's and one is relevant:
1. Does the ln -f allow you to do it without first rm'ing the old link?
2. I don't know if all you do is keep aic7xxx current but if you do
know something about scsi, what exactly is going on when a run a make
job and when to much stuff is going on at once it tells me scsi:0:A:0
Locking max tag count at 64. Is that the driver talking? Does it have
something to do with the scsi_eh_0 that is always running? Would it
hurt to kill that?
