Hi all,

I didn't recognise that the kernel from Sebastian - which was working fine 
here - was build from the debian sources (no hint in the kernel version). 
So I build everything again from debian source and fixed the irq's in 
prep_pci.c.

I can confirm now, that this debian+irq_fix kernel 2.6.8 runs fine and 
produces no scsi timeouts!

Something happend in kernels >= 2.6.9 which makes the scsi unusable. Also it 
seems, that even in 2.6.8 kernels and with ide hard disks (Sebastians setup) 
the scsi controller timeouts, but continues to operate - correct?

That's all for now (and this year), because I have to leave this nice machine 
alone and go home. Thanks to all who helped me - maybe see you next year 
again...

Greetings

Marc
