I'm seeing filesystem corruption on a number of intel SE7501wv2's
under 2.4.21-pre5-ac1. The systems are running Cerberus (ctcs). They
fail the kcompile, and memtst tests.
At 1st I thought it was memory, but the systems are fine under
memtest86, and the Cerberus memtst failures disappear if I turn off my
swap devices. The kcompile failures seem to point to random file
corruption from copying the kernel tree. (Cerberus copies a new copy of
the kernel for each compile.)
I suspect the aic79xx driver as:
1)I've running ctcs with the same kernel on 100+ SE7501wv2 with ide drives.
2)This occurs under reiserfs, and ext3.
3)I've been using 2.4.21-pre5-ac1 to burnin systems for quite some time.

Are you running the aic79xx driver version embedded in that kernel version
or the latest from my site?
