Kernel boot failures

[Tom Coleman]

I've tried building several 2.2.14-5.0 and 2.2.16-3 kernels on RH 6.2,
and have not been able
to get any of them to boot.
I've tried building 2.2.14 with various combinations of 386/686 SMP/no
SMP, etc., with the
same (bad) result.

The system has an aic7xxx controller, and an AcceleRAID 170, which I
eventually hope to be
able to boot from, once I get past this kernel building problem.

The fatal messages are usually:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
autodetecting RAID arrays
autorun ...
... autorun DONE.
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
Loading aic7xx module
/lib/aic7xxx.o unresolved symbol best_memcpy_Ra0b82c11
/lib/aic7xxx.o unresolved symbol best_memcpy_R3e04c7a1
autodetecting RAID arrays
autorun ...
... autorun DONE.
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno = 2
VFS: Cannot open root device 08:08
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on08:08

The aic7xxx entry is in /etc/conf.modules.

I've run make modules_install, created ramdisk images, and edited lilo
each time.

I've built and installed kernels successfully before, but this time I'm
afraid I'm stumped.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you find a solution? I am facing a similar problem.
