aic79xxx kernel panic
 
Ok, where to start?

I have Libranet installed, but since I have an Adaptec 320U adapter which uses the aic79xxx module and Libranet doesn't have this one in the installer I was screwed. So I thought.
I had this clever idea of connecting my harddrive to an older SCSI adapter which needs the aic7xxx module and Libranet supports. So, I went my merry way and installed everything. I even upgraded my Libranet install to a standard Debian unstable with Gnome 2.4 and compiled kernel 2.4.22 with the aic79xxx module. Some problems along the way, but nothing really serious.

I have almost everything I want it the way it want it to be. So I thought, I have the module working, time to switch the harddrives to my new Adaptec controller.
Here comes the problem: when I connect my drives to the controller I get a kernel panic. Even before the aic79xxx module loads, only the aic7xxx module loads. When I connect the drives to my old adapter again, no problems, both SCSI modules load.

Any idea what could be wrong? Do I have to work in steps? I have 3 drives

The error message I get:

Quote:

mount: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
umount: devfs: not mounted
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 217: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
Any ideas what can cause this?
