Hmmm...but it was ok *before* you compiled your own kernel? That is
strange. You may want to consider building all the SCSI support you need
into the kernel rather than making them modular. I have a server that's
completely SCSI and I decided to go that route. (Keep in mind I'm still on
5.2 running the 2.0.36 kernel.) I know there's been quite a bit of work
done on the Adaptec drivers now that they're "on the bandwagon", but I was
under the impression the drivers were pretty stable in the 2.2.x kernel.
