Sure, boot up the machine without any devices attached to the card, use the
command line aic7xxx=verbose:0xffff and then get me the output of the bootup
messages in their entirety and I'll see if I can figure out what's going
on.  Also, send me a list of the devices that would normally be connected to
this controller, the output of /proc/scsi/scsi will be sufficient for this.
