It 'appears' (from past articles, and my own experience) that the stock as.c driver triggers these type of errors easily. This is caused from the probe routine returning a totally bogus value for the number of cylinders, which really messes with the kernel. >300MB scsi or a 1GB scsi, I get the panic. Have not tried >the "julian scsi driver" nor have i tried a straightforward >"scsi only" installation without the ESDI disks. I would recommend Julian's drivers whole heartedly. They add functionality, and are at least as good as the original driver's. Nate -- osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu | Still trying to find a good reason for nate@cs.montana.edu | these 'computer' things.
