RedHat 7.0 and aic7xxx

[maitre at ccs.neu.edu (Brad Noyes)]

Hi Matt,
I have also had this problem several times, usually updating the kernel does 
it for me, but it looks like you're already tried it. If checking the 
termination doesn't solve the problem, i would then check the speed of the 
bus using the SCSI Select utility. You might want to lower the speed for 
testing purposes, to see it will work at 20mb/sec or 10mb/sec. Just a though, 
good luck

Cheers,
--Brad
