Strange, for me 2.0.34 is working better than the 2.0.33 version. I tried to
add asecond harddrive with the 2.0.33, saw some scsi command timeouts just as
I had seen when I attempted to use the PPA driver and aic7xxx driver(ie the
ppa was the second disk). I compiled the 2.0.34 version and both scsi disks are
usable without any trouble. When I get around to it I will attempt to rebuild
the
kernel with ppa support and see what happens.
