We have a Pentium 100 with 64Meg ram and a really loaded scsi chain ON the isa-bus. We were prevented from using a pci-bus scsi card because of an apparent incompatablity with an ethernet card. Now we have panics whenever anything gets busy on the scsi bus. Anything like a huge tar (backing up /usr/home) or running INN (small feeds ok) will take the machine down. The video is usually so freaked out that it's hard to see the exact reason for the panic, and nothing is reflected in /var/log/* Any ideas/experiences about where to go with this? I'll summurize if everyone remembers to send only to me :) Thanks, --Ben Kirkpatrick; The Pond
