Hi, I just rejoined this list so I apologize if this has already been covered.

Trying to boot Linux 1.3.8 with an AHA-2940 PCI SCSI card I get a lock-up
after the last line below (this was typed in by hand, pardon any typos):

    aic7xxx: hcntrl = 0x2
    aic7xxx_detect: AIC-7870 Rev B
    aic7xxx_detect: devconfig 0x0, devstatus 0x5
    aic7870 hcntrl = 0x5
    aic78xx: Reading SEEPROM... done
    aic7870: extended translation enabled
    AIC7870 (PCI-bus):
        irq 11
        bus release time 40 bclks
        data fifo threshold 100%
        SCSI CHANNEL A:
            scsi id 7
            scsi selection timeout 356 ms
            scsi bus reset at power-on enabled
            scsi bus parity enabled
            scsi bus termination (low byte) enabled
    aic7xxx: Dowloading sequencer code... done.
    NeedSdtr = 0xff, 0xff
    NeedWdtr = 0x0, 0x0
    Resetting the SCSI bus...

When I boot without the driver installed, I can cat /proc/pci
and see this:

  0 Device  10 Function  0.
      SCSI bus controller : Adaptec 2940 (rev 0). 8259's interrupt 11.

Thanks for any help!

-Archie
