Two things.

1) Can you try using the 6.2.0 version of the aic7xxx driver?  You
can get patches for 2.4.6, which will apply to 2.4.7, from here:

http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/

2) Run with aic7xxx=verbose either by adding an append line to
/etc/lilo.conf (assumes driver is statically compiled into the
kernel) or by adding an option line in /etc/modules.conf.  Once
you've done this, send me your kernel messages that indicate the
error as well as the full probe messages for the controller.
