I was enjoying yet another session of beating my head against the wall trying to do useful things with old hardware :-), and managed to cause a kernel panic by simply trying to mount a cdrom in the context of a DSL-N installation.
The SCSI host adapter is an Adaptec AHA-1542B, and when I try to mount a cdrom, I manage to run afoul of the BAD_DMA() check in aha1542.c: the buffer returned is not in the lower 16 MB of memory.
The same 2.6.12 kernel + hardware combination works fine as long as I confine my I/O to the hard disk that's also attached to the AHA-1542B.
