 anyway which results in system not running.

 Is it just me G.

Did you try a newer kernel? What about the old driver (aic7xxx_old)?

I was afraid of that G.  There is a bug with rmmod causing crashing in 
Bugzilla. What puzzles me is these two systems have never had any problem at 
all - I even did a make oldconfig with the 2.6.11 .config so they would be the 
same.

 it have to ;)
 
 I have an adaptec 2944 card and it works without problems (just did a big 
 restore through it with an 2.6.12-gentoo* kernel). At least none while 
 booting ;)

I tried 2.6.12-r9 which was released a short time ago.  I'm in the process of 
trying the old driver.

I run a couple of 32-bit systems at work with onboard Adaptec  79xx controllers.
Both had earlier 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels and both now have 2.6.12-r9 kernels.
No problems on either.  One runs a 4 disk software raid 5 setup (local Gentoo 
mirror).

Both boot off the SCSI controller.

fwiw- I never use make oldconfig  Somewhere in the 2.6.x series I discovered 
that if
I mount /boot, then run make config, it would pick up my running config.  
Perhaps it
was the System.map setting in /boot.

Regardless, I just do - 
make menuconfig
make
make modules_install
make install
vim /boot/grub/grub.conf

 Is it just me G.


Sounds like something else in your config isn't set up properly.

Thanks.  I'll look into this and try it.
