Description of Problem: Symbios SCSI driver in 2.4.3-12 times out under light load, eventually causing a kernel panic. How Reproducible: Boot 2.4.3-12 on an Alpha with a Symbios 1000/1010 scsi controller. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. Run this little script (while true; do uptime; sleep 1;done) 3. Wait Actual Results: Causes timeouts and eventualy kernel panic Expected Results: Should keep running without trouble, 2.2.17 (with Symbios patch for 1000/1010 works fine). Additional Information: single SCSI harddisk, this is the gold release of 7.1 I'll attach the log of its failure.
