aic7xxx and tape drive problems

[David M. Rector]

Sorry,

Actually, after applying the patch, the aic7xxx driver
recognizes the tape drives, but suddenly my X11 driver
is broken and I cannot start X-windows.

I have a Matrox Millenium II 4 megs, PCI
(No IRQ conflicts as far as I can tell)

Any ideas?
