We've had one problem report so far that was fixed by adding a scsi terminator. The new driver runs fast sync scsi transfers, while the old one ran slower async. Poorly terminated scsi busses are much more likely to fail with the new driver. James Bottomley posted a patch to disable sync transfers a few days ago, could you try that and see if it helps? Also let us know what you system has by way of scsi termination. Thanks, Richard
