SubjectOops in 2.5 kernels - SCSI related issues
Hi,

I've been trying to compile 2.5 kernels in my all SCSI machine, however
failing miserably. It compiles but gives me a nasty oops upon reboot.
Since I've not had such show stopper with any 2.4 kernel, I tried to
compile an early 2.5, eg. 2.5.1-pre1 (not avoid 2.5.0 to avoid umount
breakage) and it compiled, as one would expect. However, I start to get
oopses right from 2.5.1-pre2 onwards. I tried up to 2.5.3-final and the
same result is obtained.

Upon boot, I see it oopses when detecting SCSI devices (namely the two
hard drives) related to the aic7xxx driver. This doesn't surprise me at
all knowing that since 2.5.1-pre2 I get compile warnings precisely with
this driver. Here's the stderr from the 'make bzImage' process:

I'm not sure how can I dump the oops output here but if it is really
needed, I'll try to provide you with it. My .config is goes attached.
This is a Pentium-Classic 100MHz, 32MB RAM.

I don't know if someone arose this problem before. If so, my apologies.
I don't know if this is somehow connected with the oopses but it's just
too much coincidence. Sorry if I'm talking nonsense here, but what you
see here is well...a newbie :|

Thanks in advance,

// Paulo Andre'
