I've been using 2.1.x kernels since 2.1.119 and the last one working for me
is 2.1.122 (Digital Server 3200 - 2xPII 266/128MB/AIC7880 + 2x4GB Seagate
drives)
here's the 2.1.122 probing:

--------------------------------------------------------

the 2.1.123 hangs on SCSI (with or without the pre 15 patch)
After the sequencer download it starts getting aborts due to timeout on
every device
Then it stops. Definitely.
I would send you the output I could capture it.
do you think any of the:
    aic7xxx=panic_on_abort
    aic7xxx=verbose:0x1ffff
would help ?
