Hi all,
just installed 2.1.62.
A few problems:
- I'm getting a lot of
d_alloc: 745 unused, pruning dcache
messages every time I access my harddisk (SCSI, ext2).

- There seems to be a problem with devices attached to a Adaptec 2940 UW
SCSI adapter if the device can't handle Wide-SCSI:

aic7xxx: <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> at PCI 8
scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 4.1/3.2
scsi : 1 host.

Vendor: CONNER Model: CFP2105S 2.14GB Rev: 2B4B
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

Vendor: IBM Model: DCAS-34330W Rev: S65A
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0

Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-ROM PX-12TS Rev: 1.02
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0

scsi0: Target 5, channel A, refusing WIDE negotiation; using 8 bit
transfers.
scsi : detected 1 SCSI cdrom 2 SCSI disks total.

Well, Target 5, channel A, is supposed to be an IMS CDD2000... It works
fine in 2.0.30. (2.0.30 detects it after printing the message about WIDE
negotiation.

Haven't had the time to look into either of the problems.
