    Hi,

    Sorry for the premature bug report, but it looks like the problem was
    caused by a 32-bit PCI SCSI card in a 64-bit slot.

    32-bit PCI cards should work without problems in 64-bit slots, though.

    That's what I thought, but I have an Adaptec 2940UW card that causes instability reliably in 64bit pci slots.

    Maybe the card can't handle 66Mhz? Does 64bit pci always mean 66Mhz?

    Nope, 64-bit and 66-MHz are independent features. Unless the card lies
    (by claiming to do 66MHz when it can't), putting a 33MHz card on a 66MHz
    bus will simply cause the entire bus to run at 33MHz.
