The aha driver (AIC636x chips, including the 1505) is in a rather advanced state of bitrot. I've had it panic my machine back when I tried it in -stable (2.2.5-ish, I think). I'd adopt it if I knew enough about SCSI to fix it, since we have TONS of 1510s and 152x cards lying around :| -- Lee C. -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on DALnet #watertower) A!
