by Hello,
lately I tested 2.2.11 on my machine. 2.2.10 runs without problems on this
computer. However in 2.2.11 the scsi support for the ADAPTEC Controller AIC7xxxx
seems tohave changed. I have a Adaptex 7890 controller and the kernel does not
run with it any longer. When booting the scsi controller ist found and the
correct number of devices (a harddisk and a cdrom) are found but then it reports
only timeouts for the disk when it tries to continue the bootprocess. The
messages are similar (sinve the machine does not boot I cannot provide the exact
messages:
(scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 12/0

Thats all. Nothing more happens. Rebooting with 2.2.10 eberything works just fine.
Any idea?
