Yes.  Actually, if you look through the posts to this list, Doug Ledford 
said that, in fact, there are negotiation problems with *all* 5.0.xx versions
of the aic7xxx code.  He's madly working on 5.1.0 right now to solve these
problems and to add Ultra2 support.  Go back and read the thread 
"Re: Trouble with (aic7xxx)5.0.19 driver on Linux" if you still have it,
or monitor ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx/.  Doug also said he
would post to linux-scsi and aic7xxx@freebsd.org when he had something 
completed for us to try.

But this scbptr SELTO stuff is known for a lot of people in 2.0.34 and
some in 2.1.10x.  I have my Adaptec chain unplugged right now as I 
anxiously away Doug's new driver.  (All my critical stuff is on a BusLogic
BT-958.)

P.S. Doug, we're prayin' for you!
