We did see some problems on Opterons with the 193 kernel in our Singapore office using an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card. It seemed to be tied to a newer version of the Adaptec driver that SuSE was using compared to an older driver on some P4 systems running RedHat. The new driver had some new SCSI functionality (I think what was causing us problems was Domain Validation and the attached RAID box did not support Domain Validation). This functionality was not in older versions of the Adaptec driver, so the problem did not show up.
I've narrowed the problem to not be related to the SCSI card at all by taking it out completely and trying to install on an IDE disk. The problem still happened even with the latest suse kernel (2.4.21-211-smp).
