Subject: Adaptect 2940u2 w/ 2.4.20 or 2.5.59

I have a current linux desktop curring 2.4.19 that has been running fine
for ever. Altho, when I atempted to do an update to 2.4.20, I was rather
surprised to see that my machine kernel panics on boot, just as it would
normally init the scsi bus.

The machine in question is an x86 SMP system (p3) with an adaptect
2940u2 card.. it also has another scsi controller on the mobo that is
disabled in bios. it is a 2940uw.

Is there any reason why the newer kernel has a problem with this card ?
I have tried both adaptect drivers for this card.. the new one that
started shipping in .20 and the olderone..

Has anyone else seen this problem? Its a current show stopper, I need to
reinstall my desktop, but the newer version of slackware ships with
2.4.20.

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks..

Ok, this is the kernel message (i dont know of a good way to log these,
so i hand typed it from a laptop)

This is from booting the slackware9.0 install cd, i get the same panic
when booting 2.4.20 on my machine (the device not available because of
resource colissions is normal, i see that in 2.4.19 and everything seems
to work ok..)

let me know if you need anything else.. I really appreciate the help..
and yeah.. sorry about the typos.. It was late when I wrote the first
email and Adaptec seemed to be a hard word to type at the time.


Thanks for the help !
