ICL Pentium workstation with AHA2940 (AIC7870) integrated on the
motherboard. This was with kernel version 1.3.something, which was
supposed to support AHA2940. Couldnt get it to work, no matter what
I tried. Finally I downgraded to 1.2.13 kernel with aic7xxx patches,
and lo and behold, worked like charm ! Maybe you oughta try
downgrading too, and see what happens ?
