Very Computer

More specifically, I get the message:

 Resetting the SCSI bus ...

  depends on it.
 o Skipping scan for PCI HBAs.
 aic7xxx_isr: Encountered spurious interrupt
 aic7xxx_isr: brkadrint (0x1):
  Illegal Host Access
 Kernel panic: aic7xxx_isr: brkadrint, error = 0x1, seqaddr = 0x0
  In swapper task - not syncing

 This happens with Distributions from April, 1996 InfoMagic CD set:
  Slackware 1.3.18 aha2940, and aidecd, as well as the 1.2.13 scsi
   kernels.
  Also, the Red Hat 3.0.3 scsi kernel (one of 'em, not sure now which...)

However, when I downloaded a scsi kernel, 1.1.88, form sunsite.unc.edu, it
worked.  Could I use that to install one of the newer distributions from
the InfoMagic set?  If so, are there kernel patches to fix the problem
which I could use to gen a new kernel?  Any other ideas?

switched to a fixed frequency monitor which it can't sync); Intel
