Description of problem: Adaptec 29160N Ultra160 SCSI adapter is no more functional with AIC7xxx driver in kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 i686 - computer does not boot (Domain Validation detected failure) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 (i686) Adaptec 29160N Ultra160 SCSI adapter How reproducible: Computer does not boot (100%). The previous kernels (up to 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6) were okay. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Power on 2. 3. Actual results: Bunch of "Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back" messages, machine does not boot Expected results: normal startup: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0d.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0 <Adaptec 29160N Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST373307LW Rev: 0006 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 scsi0:A:1:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.

Sorry, hardware fault is responsible for this behavior
Im seeing the same issue with all FC6 kernels over 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 This is not a HW issue, but more than likely a major bug in aic7XXX kernel module. FC4/FC5/FC6 ALL OK, until after THIS kernel. My Adaptec card is Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W Thanks
