BUG: spinlock recursion

[Gonzalo Aguilera]

    I have booted from rescue disc, enabled networking, but when looking for
Fedora disc system hangs up. So I can't upgrade kernel or driver.

    I have removed my HD MAXTOR ATLAS 15000 rpm and replacd it for a SEAGATE
10000 rpm and works fine. I can install Fedora core 5 x86_64 and boot from
HD. Does it confirm a problem with aic79xx driver?

    Thanks,

        Gonzalo.
