Oh yes, Fred Heitkamp has done realy good work on the driver. I forgot to 
mention.

Can you describe what happens before the machine hangs?

Realy odd. As I said, I copied my system (approx. 1.3GB) to the UW drive 
and booted from it whithout any problem.
The mean difference I see is that Giorgio and I using the Permedia card 
and you not. Maybe there is something with the PCI stuff in the driver. 
Can you send me the compiler warnings you get when the 53c770 is compiled?
Another question: can you mount CD-ROMs on CSPPC-SCSI and/or A4091?

I guess there is something with the memory management...
