Hello!
I'm having some problems with kernel 2.4.6 and an Adaptec AIC-7890
controller.
The first one is that it shares the interrupt with the sound card. This
should not be an issue, since they are PCI devices, and it never gave any
problems, except lately, when if I play mp3 and make some heavy activity
on the SCSI bus (scan a photo, write a CD, havily use the hard disk) while
playing MP3s, the computer freezes hard.
Here are the interrupt assignments:
CPU0 CPU1
0: 89648 80663 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 4836 4120 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
3: 3760 3292 IO-APIC-edge serial
5: 0 0 IO-APIC-edge SoundBlaster
8: 0 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 0 IO-APIC-edge acpi
10: 25675 25669 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, EMU10K1
11: 97137 96693 IO-APIC-level usb-uhci, eth0
12: 1443 1110 IO-APIC-edge PS/2 Mouse
14: 742 507 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 480721 609965 IO-APIC-edge ide1
NMI: 0 0
LOC: 170231 170248
ERR: 0
MIS: 0
The other problem is when I make heavy use of my Plextor CD-R
drive: here's what happens from time to time:
Jul 16 23:06:06 marvin kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message

Jul 16 23:06:27 marvin kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in
the drive.
With the kernel 2.4.5 I had problems, too, but the system just chose to
hang forever all disk activity instead of reporting errors.
Two questions:
1) Do some people know something of similar problems?
2) Since this is not so debian-specific, is there a more appropriate
mailing list to report this?
TIA, Enrico
