AHA-2742Twin Channel conversion with Linux 2.2.14

Hi, AIC7xxx specialists,

I have some trouble with my AHA-2742T EISA controller since I tried to add 
an external hd (on scsi channel A, external connector) in addition to the 
internal one (channel B).
In the BIOS setup channel B is marked to be the primary channel.
However, the external channel (A) allways becomes scsi0 and the first 
external disk therefore /dev/sda. Despite of the BIOS setup the internal
disc becomes /dev/sdb on scsi1.
I would like to link the internal scsi-bus to scsi0 and consequently the 
first internal disk to /dev/sda.
I tried the option "reverse_scan" but it had no effect on the twin channel
board.

I'm using Linux 2.2.14 with the aic7xxx driver version 5.1.21 /3.2.4 
compiled into the kernel.

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Ulrich
