2.4.2 + aic7xxx still broken

[Igor Mozetic]

I'm still unable to boot any 2.4.x kernel on this box:
Intel C440GX+, on-board Adaptec AIC-7896/7, 2GB RAM.

2.4.2 + stock aic7xxx:
----------------------
...
SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 0) timed out - trying harder
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
... ad infinitum

2.4.2 + http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/ aic7xxx-6.1.4-2.4.2-pre4:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
aic7xxx - abort returns 8194
scsi1:0:0:0 Attempting to queue an ABORT message
scsi1:0:0:0 Command already completed
scsi1:0:0:0 Attempting to queue a TARGET RESET message
scsi1:0:0:0 is not an active device
... ad infinitum

2.2.[17,18] stock driver works fine.
I can provide more info if needed. Any help appreciated.
