aic79xx abort during boot

[David Cross]

The only PCI that I am aware of is an I/O expansion PCI Sound Blaster Live Sound
card, and there is also another PCI card installed for an Intel Pro 1000
10/100/1000 ethernet NIC.  There are no PCI-X I/O expansion slots filled.

The firmware revision that I am seeing on the two IBM 146GB  10,000 RPM Ultra 320
internal drives is "S23C".

The motherboard is the SUPER X5DA8.  Again, the Intel E7505 Chipset, which can be
viewed at
