I had tried 6.1.8 + 2.4.3 and had problems which included messages like
'aic7xxx_abort returns 8194' and machine froze up shortly after X started.
This on redhat 7.0. Sorry but since I was unable to even boot back the
prev kernel (2.4.0) I cant provide any more detailed information. I have
been following to see a few other folks have had some issues with scsi as well.

I have 2 lvd scsi disks and one ide, AH 2940U2 - top of lilo included below -
and bios boot order is scsi first.

So I started again - installed redhat 7.0.9.
took 2.4.4-pre1 and patched it with
linux-aic7xxx-6.1.10-2.4.3.patch

Patch applied cleanly but when I compile it complains a little:

In file included from aic7xxx_linux.c:131:
aic7xxx_osm.h: In function `ahc_pci_read_config':
aic7xxx_osm.h:862: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

(for several .c files but always refers to 'ahc_pci_read_config')

In file included from ... include/linux/raid/md.h:50,
from init/main.c:24: ..include/linux/raid/md_k.h: In function `pers_to_level':
raid/md_k.h:39: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

Do I need to be concerned here? I dont whether the presumed missing return is
a bad thing or not.

I have not yet tried to boot this kernel.

Also

# lilo.conf

disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
disk=/dev/sdb
bios=0x81
disk=/dev/hda
