>It's an Adaptec AIC 7880... I had this same problem, and this is not the RIGHT answer, but it did work.
Boot the machine with DOS, using the DOS driver from www.adaptec.com. The DOS driver resets any microcode loaded into the Adaptec card, thus entirely resetting it. Then, go back to Linux, and you should be okay. I found that when I had a problem with Linux loading the scsi module/drivers, booting with DOS and the appropriate DOS driver cleared it EVERY time. When all was said and done, I found that the sound blaster chips built into the system board "somehow" managed to it at the same address space as the adaptec card, so we fixed that pretty quick, and everything worked consistantly from there.
