Latest version that worked for me was test7.

I tried but this didn't make any difference. No surprise because the
ide-scsi also causes a hangup if the sr driver is not loaded.
Since the test9-pre2 was out yesterday evening I gave it a try. No
difference, also hangs after probing the first ide device.
I understood there are some problems in the scsi subsystem; especially
difference in behaviour regarding if modules are used or not. In my config
the adaptec aha-2940uw (AIC7xxxx) is included in the kernel image, while the
ide-scsi is compiled as a module. Perhaps this does matter...
