I'm using an adaptec 2940 on my news server. I've been told that the occasional panics (something about scsi bus timeouts?) have been resolved by a -STABLE release; however, when I installed the first of them (well, partially: I swapped kernels and /bin), I got a flood of complaints that my server was failing. You know how customer complaints are; even when the information is right to hand, you can't rely on them transmitting it. So I have no idea if the nnrps stopped sending or if connections were just getting arbitrarily dropped or what. Anyway, I went back to -RELEASE; those crashes only happen once every few weeks! I looked at the code and it doesn't look at all like an easy job to retrofit the ahc driver changes into the release kernel. The question is: is it known what changes are needed to eliminate the panics? Or, is there a reasonable way to add those changes to my release kernel?
