I tried that, but at first, the driver spat out thousands of lines of errors before the kernel failed to mount the root filesystem, and then upon reboot, I still got various errors related to SCSI.

For me to understand why, you need to compile the driver with debugging enabled and the debug mask set to 0x3F. Both of these settings can be performed via the standard kernel configuration tools.

With debug level to 0x3f (decimal 63) and debugging code enabled, the resulting boot messages are captured here: ftp://ftp.madduck.net/scratch/dmesg-aic7xxx-debug.gz [3.5 Kb] Another peculiarity: if I soft reset the machine from within 2.6.0 and then start 2.6.0 again, it gets stuck again after the found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal message, this time logging furiously to the console. I will verify this again and let it run forever (with maximum kernel buffer size) in the hope that you can do something with that too. You'll hear from me.

The machine is a K6/200 with an Adaptec 2940 controlling a Quantum Fireball drive, with an ext3 /boot partition. The whole thing is connected to the external network with a 3c509 and the internal network with a RTL8139. The machine works just fine with kernel 2.4.23, grsecurity and freeswan. The configuration is here: [1]. I configured the 2.6.0 kernel [2] with the old aic7xxx driver, as well as the 3c59x and 8139too drivers. Now, when I start the system, it loads the kernel just fine, the SCSI driver recognises the harddrive, but when it tries to mount / (reiserfs) (right after initialising TCP, GRE, IPsec, IPv6 and SCTP), it just hangs with the following message: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal This will stay for a couple of minutes, when the system finally proceeds, coming to another hang after it told me that init is booting. I haven't gotten further than that yet. I imaging this is a problem with the SCSI driver, but there are no errors logged, and in 2.4.23 it works just fine. What is also curious is that after booting 2.6.0, if I don't physically shut off and then restart the system, 2.4.23 can't seem to communicate via eth0 (3c59x) anymore. It gives messages of the following form: eth0: command 0x3002 did not complete! status=0xffff and can't even obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. Only physically powering off the system and starting it from zero will fix this problem, allowing 2.4.23 to boot as normal. I wonder if the two are related, but I don't think so. If I can boot 2.6.0, I couldn't care less about the 3c59x card, which is apparently being configured by 2.6.0 in such a way that 2.4.23 can't handle it. Thus, I would be eternally grateful for hints as to why 2.6.0 causes my system to hang. Thanks!
