Me too! - This time on a gigabyte 686DL2 board, with a Tekram DC390 PCI
SCSI-2 card. A one line source fix fixed it for 2.1.121, but not for 2.1.126.
Eventually I found that 2.1.126 could be made to work by turning the BIOS
PCI/PnP settings to 'AUTO'. It could also be fixed by turning the IRQ which
has the SCSI on it to ISA/Legacy.
In both cases I had a look at /proc/interrupts - In the working case Linux
has the SCSI cards Interupt Vector set to 18(dec), in the none working case
it is set to 16(dec). Perhaps a BIOS bug...
Cheers
Mike
PS. If anybody wants to have a look at the output of mptable.c just ask :-).
