Hi !
I'm installing a CD burner and I've setup the ide-scsi, while checking

Try saying N to the AIC7xxx driver and Y to AIC7XXX_OLD and see if that works.

I am sorry if this is old news but I have not seen any mention of it in the
list.
I keep getting "kernel: Sound error: Couldn't allocate DMA buffer" in my
syslog. However sound was working until this morning. The machine uptime is
below :)

AIC7XXX_OLD also failed for me. I have tried aic 6.1.8 as well
as 6.1.10.
Both 2.4.0 under redhat 7.0 and 2.4.1 as shipped by redhat
wolverine work. As have all earlier versions going back to 2.3.xx
and 2.2.x

I can add a "me too" to this thread.
I began playing with 2.4 releases (again) at 2.4.2-ac23 and i can't
manage to boot it properly, even the 2.4.3-ac2. I have an adaptec 2940U
(aic7860 as driver tells me) and both drivers, old and new, dont work
properly. Either i get request_module[scsi_hostada
