Hi, I have the same problem, only mine occurs early in the boot process (right after a message saying something like "trying to mount old root..."; or maybe s/mount/unmount)so I don't have a log. I have a similar system: dual PIIIs w/ Adaptec AIC-7xxx controller, an HP Kayak. I saw some earlier messages about AIC-7xxx problems w/ 2.4.5, so I tried using aic7xxx_old and also tried a patch someone mentioned. I have yet to be able to bring up my machine with 2.4.5 under any combination of aic7xxx drivers, so maybe it's not the driver after all. Any ideas? I built the kernel w/ gcc 2.91.66 (kgcc).
