Here are the things I tried to see if I could make headway - none
helped - still OOPS at boot:

o Compiled with no highmem -

o Compiled without SMP

o removed hdd=ide-scsi boot option

o added ide0=nodma ide1=nodma boot option

o switched to aic7xxx as a module using initrd

Still crashes - any suggestions on what I should try next?

Thanks,
