It is the first problem about pre37 failure I read and that may involve
update of the generic Symbios driver. Sorry if I missed a previous report
from you. If you could give a try to latest version and see if it makes
differences, this will help. This patch is against 2.0.37-pre8 and is
available in 2 different places at tux site. This one below is one of
them. I haven't time to check if it applies to pre9, but if it doesn't it
should be trivialy fixable by hand.
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/roudier/drivers/linux/sym53c8xx/patch-53c8xx-s01-d00-2.0.37-pre8.gz
(This patch contains both ncr53c8xx updates and sym53c8xx addition)
If it fixes something for your system using the ncr53c8xx driver and not
the sym one, I will send Alan the part of this patch that applies to the
generic ncr53c8xxx. Let me know as quickly as possible.
Regards,
Gérard.
