 Persistent Intermittent crash while loading aic7xxx module
Can anyone tell me why this might happen?  I installed Redhat 6.0 yesterday
and for the rest of the evening every time I rebooted the system it would
get past the lilo prompt, bring up a whole lot of stuff about checking
partitions and Raid arrays and would finally wind up{*filter*} when displaying
the message:

Loading aic7xxx module

For some reason it would happen intermittently and today it gets stuck there
every time.

Can anyone tell me what the aic7xxx module is?  Do I have a piece of
hardware that is playing up?

Symon.

aic7xxxx is a SCSI driver module. I wonder if you need it (if you have an
adaptec SCSI controller and there are important hard drivers on it, you do,
otherwise not).

Ah!,  thanks - now I know what it refers to!  I have a SCSI controller in
the system - an Adaptec 2940 to be precise.  It's running a Panasonic 4x8 CD
Burner, so I kinda need it.

What would cause the module to hang intermittently?  Anyone know?

Symon.
