Dear All,

Starting off with a 29160 and 2 IBM 160 drives I have now been reduced to a 
2940UW Pro with the same hard drives.

I have patched the 2.0.36 kernel to no avail, I have upgraded to the 2.2.16 
and further the 2.2.17 kernel.

I have patched all the patches on the aic7xxx site.

I am near tears.

I cant get the system to boot now on the 2.2.17 as It bombs out with a 
SELTO problem, 2.2.16 works sometimes but then falls over with the scsi bus 
reseting.  The 2.0.36 patched kernel works fine except when I do something 
active on the harddrive like compliling a kernel at which point the file 
system slowly starts corrupting.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HAS ANYONE MANAGED TO GET A WORKING STABLE SYSTEM WITH 
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SCSI CARDS AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO ACHIEVE IT:

ADAPTEC 29160
ADAPTEC 2940 U2W
ADAPTEC 2940UW Pro
ADAPTEC 2940UW

I have reached the point of begging humbly.

Will supply any info required.

With thanks

Michael
