    Hello,

    2.4.0-test9-pre3 seems to boot and work fine, but 2.4.0-test9-pre4 with
    the same .config doesn't. It stops here:

    agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe4000000
    aha152x: processing commandline: ok
    aha152x: BIOS test: passed, detected 1 controller(s)
    aha152x: resetting bus...
    aha152x0: vital data: rev=1, io=0x140 (0x140/0x140), irq=9, scsiid=7, reconnect=enabled, parity=enabled, synchronous=enabled, delay=100, extended translation=disabled
    aha152x0: trying software interrupt, ok.
    scsi0 : Adaptec 152x SCSI driver; $Revision: 2.0 $
    scsi : 1 host.
    (Nothing more.)

    Pressing sysreq-p gives me always the same EIP, c01088ed. System.map:

    c01088c0 t default_idle
    c01088f4 t poll_idle

    This is a dual CPU machine. Both aha152x and aic7xxx are compiled in,
    but I only compiled aha152x in as of test9-pre2 as it seemed to break
    when used as a module then (it would loop endlessly detecting my scanner
    over and over again infinitely -- it got up to sg500000something and I
    rebooted). Perhaps something else is broken that's just showing up
    differently now, as the test9-pre3 to test9-pre4 diff is pretty small
    and I don't see anything obviously broken.

    On test9-pre3, the next lines are:

    (scsi1) <Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/6/0
    (scsi1) Wide Channel, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs
    (scsi1) Downloading sequencer code... 392 instructions downloaded
    ...etc.

    .config.gz attached.

    Simon-
