I tried installing 4.1.1 on a CDC/Imprimis/Seagate Wren VI 94191-766.
Same problems.  Random hangs and illegal instructions.

I installed 4.1.1 by hand after untaring the tape files by hand, and
building a 4.1.1 kernel from the *.o's.  The resultant kernel hung just
after the device probe printf's.  Turning the SYNC SCSI option off in the
kernel didn't help.
