It's me again.  I recently received the diamond fireport40 scsi 
controller, I applied the patch for kernel 2.0.29, and I worked the first 
time, with no headache.  It took me maybe five minutes to install it for 
linux (K6's rule!), and then I spent another couple of hours getting it 
work in win95 (sucked).  Everything is peachy so far, except that for the 
first time in my life I had a kernel panic, I was writing a cdrom and 
decided it was time to play an mp3,  I tried playing one and then boom, 
Kernel Panic!.  unfortunately i couldn't save any of the info that it 
spat out when it gave up but i did see ncr8xx mentioned on a couple of 
lines.  Since then I have burnt two cd's just fine, I was wondering if I 
had configured the driver incorrectly.  here is my setup
is there anything i should watch for?, The small hp hd and the seagate 
are both older scsi2 drives,  I appreciate the help.
