Help Needed! AIC7xxx Problems

I need some urgent help on trying to get a server up and running that a
client has given me.

System
	PII 333
	128Meg SDRAM
	Dual Pentium M/B 440LX with AIC7880 built in.

Problem
	When using Slackware 3.5.0 boot disk with support for AIC7xxx
	the host is detected correctly and configured but I get the
	following errors.

SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 0) timed out - resetting.
(scsi0:0:0:0) Device reset, Message buffer in use
SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 0) timed out - trying harder

This is repeated over and over and over again.

I should mention that the SCSIselect options are all defaulted.

I tried with the 'Initiate Sync Negotiation' off and it then detected the
Quantum SE8.4S drive but then locked up as soon as it did.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated even if it is just to a reference
page.

Darren
