This is normally due to one of two things either having the various jumpers
for DMA channel not matching, or having the buslogic driver in the kernel
too.

Boot with the command buslogic=0x330 (yes its junk, but it will probe for
a buslogic at 0x330 and not 0x334, that will stop it stamping on the
AHA1542B).
I wish people wouldn't ship install kernels with both of these enabled
