Hi Justin, Stephen informed me privately that aic7xxx_old works for him. About the aic7xxx update, well, I believe aic7xxx 6.2.36 is pretty stable (I dont remember seeing any reliable bug report and I also cant find one in lkml archives) except this one (and a pair of "lockup on initialization with SMP"). What bugs are you aware of in 2.4's aic7xxx ?
