    This is from serial console.
    Unfortunatly it's a portmaster2 which has no buffer.
    What i do is start a screen, do a telnet to the portmaster
    and attach the serial console. I can't go back anyfurther
    than this since the output of the new kernel booting replaced it.
    Mayby i can tell screen to have more lines of history ?!

    So far, all new kernels indeed barfed with scsi errors.
    It somehow seems to miss a scsi event and a chain of events occur
    which also sometimes lead to shutdown ethernet interfaces.

    This is the difference in IRQ settings i talked about earlier:

    Linux 2.6.14-rc2-git7 (root@newsgate) (gcc 4.0.2 ) #1 1CPU
    irq 0: 3736032 timer irq 12: 3
    irq 1: 8 i8042 irq 16: 4519576 aic79xx
    irq 4: 449 serial irq 17: 34901765 aic79xx, eth3
    irq 9: 0 acpi irq 18: 89100231 acenic

    vs

    Linux 2.6.12-mm1 (root@newsgate) (gcc 3.3.6 ) #1 Mon Jun 20 11:13:18 CEST 2005 1CPU [newsgate.(none)]
    irq 0: 3822422 timer irq 12: 3
    irq 1: 8 i8042 irq 16: 82787217 acenic
    irq 4: 353 serial irq 17: 4194166 aic79xx
    irq 9: 0 acpi irq 18: 28628408 aic79xx, eth3
