Dangerous assumption. I was running an adaptec 19160 (I think that was the model number. I don't have it in front of me at the moment), and everything was fine under 7.1 with the default 2.2 kernel and aic7xxx.o. With 7.2, however, the tape drive connected to it failed completely, sometimes taking the entire system down with it. I tried every permutation of 2.2 kernel, 2.4 kernel, aic7xxxx and aic7xxx_old. And nothing worked. The 7.1 kernel and module still did the thing. So I'd suggest a careful trial before going live, and if things fail, consider downgrading.

I installed 6.1 with a Tyan MB with the same Adaptec chipset. It worked fine then so I would "assume" it works as good or better now.

-> I have a Supermicro P6DBS motherboard that has SCSI built into it. The SCSI is Adaptec AIC7895. I am planning on installing and using ->SuSE, but am not sure I will be able to since I did not see support for the AIC7xxx SCSI driver on SuSE's web site. My CD ROM drives are both SCSI ->and I will need them. Is anybody running SuSE with a Supermicro P6DBS motherboard? Or, does anybody know if SuSE would recognize my SCSI ->controller? I don't want to buy it and not be able to use it if it won't work with my system.
