Major Failure 2.4.0-test12 Alpha
Hello,
Just writing in to report a bug in 2.4.0-test12.
Hardware:
PCI-Matrox_Mill
PCI-Adaptec 39160 / 160M scsi card
PCI-Generic TNT-2 card
PCI-Sound blaster -128 (es1370)
CPU 21164a - Alpha
Problem:
There is a race condition in the aic7xxxx driver that causes the
kernel to lock up.
I don't have a kernel dump yet as the machine reported by it'self.. This problem has been easy to reproduce. ergo about 3 crashes a day.
Solution:
Sync often and pray.
Misc:
As soon as I get a real dump I will post a followup to this message.

Just to add my 2 bits, I have an AlphaServer 1000A that has a pci-pci bridge. I put an adaptec 2940UW on the primary pci bus. After attempts to mke2fs on a raid0 set (using 2.2.17 /w and w/o raid patches), it would just lock and I'd have to reboot the machine. I was able (IIRC) to remount r/o the other disk that I had.

I'm also seeing this on 2.4.0 proper with almost the same hardware:
SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7881U (rev 01) (aic71xxxx driver)
VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 1064SG [Mystique] (rev 03)
SB Vibra16X sound card.
I swap to scsi as the ide performance on this board just blows, I get into a heavy swap situation and *boom* deadlocked.
