AIC7895 and 5.0.19...

[tmuller at agora.rdrop.com]

Hi all,

I have finally got 5.0.19 aic7xxx driver for linux to boot on my aic7895
controller.  It seems that the 5.0.19 code is not in linux 2.1.106 yet.  If
you are having the old:

scsi reset.....
waiting.....
scsi reset.....
waiting....trying harder...

looping, download 2.1.105 and apply doug's patches.  It seems that the delay
between setting up the chip and talking to the devices wasn't long enough.

As a side note, I am getting the following during boot.  It seems non-fatal,
but I am still not sure exactly why it happens.

(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Bad scbptr 255 during SELTO.
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Referenced SCB 255 not valid during SELTO.
        SCSISEQ = 0x12 SEQADDR = 0x9 SSTAT0 = 0x15 SSTAT1 = 0x8a 

This is pulled from the boot output.  If you would like a copy of the complete
output, let me know.  I don't want to flood this mailing list with
unnecessarily large log dumps.

Troy
