Hello Justin,

to make that clear: I am in no way sure _what_ is causing the problem. I am
only updating the (very few) infos I gave/could give during the last weeks.

kernel-included aic-driver is the sole cause of the troubles.

I am in fact very pleased that rc2/aic-20030502 made things quite noticably
better than every 21-rc/pre before.

What I am giving is a positive feedback, but I have as few logs for it as I had
for the very negative I sent times ago.

Anyway, I am continuing with stress-tests on rc3/aic-20030520.

Regards,
Stephan
