And that's exactly what happened to me. My SCSI controller (ISA PnP) does not work any more. Here the output of /var/log/messages (after a "/sbin/modprobe aha152x"): Mar 26 13:52:22 pinguin kernel: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...

Mar 26 13:52:22 pinguin kernel: aha152x1: IRQ 10 possibly wrong. Please verify. Before the kernel update everything was identical, except the "lost" (which was "ok") and the following line. (I have a SuSE 7.3 system, the kernel has been 2.4.10 and is now, after the update, 2.4.18.) Any suggestions? Hatto v. Hatzfeld
