I don't think that any of the changes between 6.2.35 and 6.2.36 will
make a difference for you, but you could try upgrading. The source
files are here:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/SRC/
The console output you've provided makes me think that interrupts are
not working correctly in your system.

Tried those already on both 2.4.21/22 and 2.6.0-test1,2,3.
While the 2.4 driver compiles and works fine the 2.5 sources does not
play nice with 2.6.0-test* kernel.I had to change the includes to blkdev
in the source and then there was few compile warnings.I can try to
provide the exact ones, unless there's a driver that applies to
2.6-test* cleanly.Once i had it compiled the kernel would just panic.

Is this due to my mainboard (nforce2),cpu,ACPI,devfs,sysfs...or all
these together?
I tried swapping the SCSI controller card in various PCI slots,used new
and original working cables,changed the BIOS IRQ's...etc
I start running of ideas here, is there other options to fully debug the
problem? What else can i try? I would appreciate any pointers.
I would like to get things working with 2.6.0 kernels...right now only
aic7xxx_old is somehow working but that's not the solution to the
problem.

NForce2 + ACPI IRQ routing is a work in progress. Try turning off ACPI
for the time being and see if it helps.
Thanks,

Thanks Rahul, i'll try that.Are acpi=off and pci=noacpi the same options?
what about APIC, should i also use noapic option upon booting the kernel
(APIC is compiled in)?

Justin,
I have a nice oops from the
http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/SRC/aic79xx-linux-2.5-20030603-tar.gz driver on 2.6.0-test3.
I took few snaps which show the scsi controller scan process and the
oops from kernel, they are at:
