Hardware: PCI-Matrox_Mill PCI-Adaptec 39160 / 160M scsi card PCI-Generic TNT-2 card PCI-Sound blaster -128 (es1370) CPU 21164a - Alpha Problem: There is a race condition in the aic7xxxx driver that causes the kernel to lock up. I don't have a kernel dump yet as the machine reported by it'self.. This problem has been easy to reproduce. ergo about 3 crashes a day. Solution: Sync often and pray. Misc: As soon as I get a real dump I will post a followup to this message.
