The 2.0.31 kernel that came with the system is using the aic7xxx module
and this is the adapter I chose when configuring the kernel. The adaptor
is on the motherboard (ASUS P2L97-S agp Mainboard) - "Features
Adaptec's 7880 Ultra-Fast/Wide SCSI chipset".

So there should be no problems as far as the adaptor and module are
concerned.

I cant find any thing in /var/log/messages - its a complete freeze.
