Hello, since Kernel Version 2.6.10 I get kernel OOPS when I try to use the Adaptec Raidtools (ASMBE as well as the CLI tool: aacli). I reported this to Fedora Bugzilla as the following bug ( 148761 ) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=148761 They told me to report that to upstream.
