bug in aac driver (revisited?)

[Justin Bennett]

I am posting this as I was researching an issue with my Adaptec 2200s
controller, where I would get command timeouts on the controller under heavy
constant load (either using rsync or ncftp to mirror folders).

I noticed some interesting information that Scott Long posted about issues
with 4GB RAM and  the firmware. Well, I have 4GB of RAM, and a SuperMicro
X5DPL-iGM mobo (intel 7501 chipset), and the adaptec 2200s (dual channel)
controller. So I was wondering if perhaps I am seeing some of the "strange
interactions" that Scott mentioned.

As I never saw a resolution to this issue, and noticed that (at least in the
archives) Marc G. Fournier never got his situation fully resolved, perhaps I
could lend some debugging help, if indeed the issues are the same (as I have
the box right on hand).

Scott or Marc (or anyone), can someone get back to me and let me know more
info on this subject, and what I can do to help track down any potential bug
in the aac driver.

Thanks,

Justin
