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.
Gee... don't mention all this to my 19160 on the machine I am typing this.... Has always worked just fine. Perhaps you got bit by a bug between the aic7xxx driver and the older version (aic7xxx-old) but I've used them both. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
