It is an SMP motherboard with one CPU , dual port aic7896/97 ultra2 onboard. I'm slowing going backwards from 2.4.6-pre5 and am currently compiling 2.4.3. With the later kernels, the machine simply hangs, flat out does nothing instead of initializing the aic driver. With the earlier kernels I get the below messages. BTW, why the heck is the linux kernel relying on Berkely DB? I find it rather bothersome that I have to go fetch and compile a userland library just to compile the aic driver. More details to follow I'm sure.
