    I had a lot of SCSI trouble during my early experiments; I'm using an
    AHA-2940 and a 2.4.1-pre11 Linux kernel. The scan would freeze after a
    (changing) amount of data had been read. Trying to get the system back
    into a "clean" state by unloading tha aic7xxx module often resulted in
    a kernel panic.

    Reducing the SCSI buffer size to 32K helped; I didn't have any freezes
    since then.

    Bye
    Frederik
