What I meant was that we have two obviously different controllers, and
different drives, but we experienced exactly the same problem with
exactly the same kernel upgrade. Which made me think that the problem is
probably not related to controller-specific modules.

I don't have the nvidia modules and really don't want them. I'd much
rather stay with 2.6.12 than live with the pain of a binary module
tainting my kernel.

Thanks anyway,
