2.4.8 aic7xxx -- continuous bus resets

I thought I'd look at the 2.4.8 kernel while I figure out what's
wrong with my 2.2.18 installation. The kernel loading gets stuck with
errors from the aic7xxx driver, which keeps timeing out querying the
bus looking for non-existant drives, and when it finaly tries to
query a drive that exists it claims to see bus errors. End result is
that Linux 2.4.8 never mounts any drives or finishes loading.

The system is an IBM 704 with a built in adaptec aic-7880U
controller, with two drives on first scsi buss.

2.2.18 has no problems with the adaptec controllers, but has other
issues, which seem to be timer related.
