Problem getting Seagate ST318436LW to work with AIC7xxx driver

[Geoffrey Goodrum]

Not a direct answer to your problem, but...

As a matter of course you should upgrade your kernel (versions before
2.2.16 have a serious security flaw).  I believe 2.2.16 has a newer
aic7xxx driver, but you should also consider getting the latest aic7xxx
driver from http://people.redhat.com/dledford.  The site includes Red Hat
modules and source.
