One question is still open on this case: Why does the Oops only occur if the "aic7xxx=verbose" is set ?
The above explanation is correct (AFAIK), but the kernel-oops should then happen on *every* reboot, not only if this verbose-parameter is set...or does the driver try to shutdown the drives and then write to the log "AIC7xxx shutdown successfull"...?...:-))
Solong... Frank.
