DOH!! Mea Culpa, mea Culpa...
Not only was the adaptec not integrated on the mainboard, its one I put in myself a year ago. Oh well, I pulled it but still get the kernel oops in the scsi_mod... unfortunately much of the oops output scrolls off the screen. How can I page back to the beginning of the crash? ctrl+pgup doesn't seem to do it for me - this is with the stock (read default) kernel image.

I don't know of any mac with an on-board adaptec controller... Maybe you have it as a PCI card in whcih case you can remove it to test if that helps ? Do you have more details of the actual crash ? Also, what kernel version is it ? Ben.
