I'm seeing filesystem corruption on a number of intel SE7501wv2's under 2.4.21-pre5-ac1. The systems are running Cerberus (ctcs). They fail the kcompile, and memtst tests.

Are you running the aic79xx driver version embedded in that kernel version or the latest from my site?

Justin,

would you call the 1.3.6 version of aic79xx stable or "production
quality"? There still seems to be quite a lot of changes going on.

Up until this point I've found the aic79xx driver to be very stable.
I know people running 100s of systems without issue on older revs of the driver.

The point is that the older drivers seem to be a bit fragile when things
go wrong. If everything is perfect, the 1.1.0 driver is OK. If you something "marginal" in the setup things get ugly. So I'd like to know which version Justin would reccomend :-)

I always recommend the latest release.
