I just tried 2.6.13-rc6 after my last 2.6.11.12 and got a problem with the onboard aic7xxx on my old Gigabyte-6BXDS dual i686-600: During boot, something bad happened within domain validation and I got an oops from an unhandled NULL pointer. Since I don't have a secondary computer at home to capture the OOPS, here's the shortened stacktrace written down by hand: show_stack show_register die do_page_fault error_code ahc_set_syncrate ahc_reset_channel ahc_linux_bus_reset scsi_try_bus_reset scsi_eh_bus_reset scsi_eh_ready_devs scsi_unjam_host scsi_error_handler kernel_thread_helper After chaning the Adaptec bios setting for the Pioneer CDROM from "async" to "10 MB", I was able to boot the same kernel without problems. If somebody needs more information, I can reproduce the OOPS again and provide the missing information.
