Urgent!!
The new kernels provided by RH, eg 2.4.16 series does _not_ boot on my
HW!! Which driver is named aic7xxx.o now, the old one or the new? My
guess is the new one. There is also s module aic7xxx_mod.o, what is that?
Additionally, the new driver has serious speed problems: on another
box with aic7895 on-board driver, hdparm -t /dev/sda gives: 19.6MB/sec
with the old driver and only half with the new.
