I've neem myself experiencing various kernel lockups at boot with SCSI enabled & aic7xxx. In fact, I had some problems with .11 too with a disk not reponding on my dual G4. I don't know what's up, but I'd apreciate if you could send me the panic infos so I can start tracing it. Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
