Insert either an Adaptec 1460 PCMCIA card or Adaptec 1480 CardBus card. Remove the card. Insert the card again. Even if you knew to set the console to a text mode terminal first (since Linux doesn't give Blue Screens of Death otherwise), you still won't get a dump. Not much to go on without a dump, but at least it's 100% repro. It doesn't happen with a NinjaSCSI card. Insert card, access SCSI disk, remove card, insert card again, access SCSI disk again, remove card, insert again, no problem. So there's something about two Adaptec drivers. -------------------------------------- Power up the Internet with Yahoo! Toolbar. http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/toolbar/
