The SMP-FAQ says that Adaptec drivers are broken under SMP-enabled kernels... My personal experience was that using a SMP system with a Adapect SCSI onboard was SO frustrating that we chose to use a IDE HD instead.

:I just tried 2.1.99-pre3 on my Dell GXpro which has dual pentium pro 200Mhz, :128 meg of memory, Adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller (2 Barracuda disks, 1 DAT :tape drive, and 1 CDROM), and TekRam 390F SCSI controller which uses the :Symbios 53c875 chip (1 Barracuda disk). : :If I compile 2.1.99-pre3 with SMP=1 defined in the Makefile, it hangs after the :last Adaptec device (the CDROM) has been printed and just before the Symbios :disk is printed. If I rebuild the kernel without SMP=1 being defined for a :single processor, it works just fine. : :-- :Michael Meissner, Cygnus Solutions (Massachusetts office) :4th floor, 955 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA :meissner@cygnus.com, 617-354-5416 (office), 617-354-7161 (fax) : : :
