    Booting kernel-2.6.6-rc3 hangs because of the Symbios scsi-driver.
    No errors with kernel-2.6.5.

    (Mobo Tyan S2665, Dawicontrol DC-2964F (Chip used is AM53C974)

    I get this messages .. (copied by hand from bootscreen).

    Beginning Domain Validation
    sym0:5 FAST SCSI 10 MB/s ST (100.0ns,offset 15)
    scsi(2:0:5:0) ECHO BUFFER SIZE 5924 ist too big, trimming to 4096

    sym0:5:0 BUS RESET started
    sym0:5:0 BUS RESET timed out
    sym0:5:0 DEVICE RESET started
    sym0:5:0 DEVICE RESET timed out

    The system then hangs.

    In contrast to this the messages from from kernel-2.6.5.
    No errors here. All scsi-devices are working.
