It took it ~22 hours, but it finished everything without any problems. Normally it takes about 5 hours and the least it has crashed has been twice. Again, this is with sync so disk I/O has been much slower and the CPU utilization has been much lower because I'm doing a bunch of compiling and I'm being held back by the disk output.
Presumably that would rule out a bunch of "just plain broken" hardware issues, although I'm certainly not stressing a bunch of things. I can probably rule out RAM issues, but that didn't seem too likely anyway.
Between the -ac kernels and the stock ones, I see I've tested both the aic7xxx 5.1.4 & 5.1.6 drivers, if I recall correctly. --- john
