Hi,

I got the aic7xxx.tgz from remus.nrl.navy.mil 2 days ago. I was so 
excited to test it out! When I boot my box with the boot image provided 
in the archive, it hang after synchronising with my harddisk. The 
following message were on the screen:

   aic7xxx : target 0 was synchronous at 8.0Mb/s
   scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, id 0, lun 0 Test
Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00

Then I try to reboot and the AHA-2940 seem not responsing to any command.
I had no idea what's going wrong! Could you give me some hints? I had to 
reset my bios as well as the controller card in order to make it work 
again.

My machine configuration : Intel 486DX2-66, AHA-2940, Quantum Empire 1080s,
			   Sony CDU-55S and a generic S3 video card.

Thanks in Advance
