<B>aic7xxx is broken</B> for me. Recognized and configured ok by pre-5, it worked fine for simple things (like ls or rm a file), but as soon as I started accessing my disk more heavily the whole SCSI bus went mad, starting a sequence of resets/timeouts which I wasn't able to stop, not even with Alt-SysRq. I tried it twice with the same results. Hopefully no data was damaged.
I have an Adaptec AHA-2940 (no UW), and the last time I had troubles with it was long, long time ago. And to be sure, I always used the default kernel options with it.
