Do you have an active terminator on the LVD chain? LVD requires active, not
passive termination.
Also, watch the Adaptec detection sequence. I will tell you whether it is
seeing drives in LVD mode.
AFAIK, the a7xxx module does not (by default) set the speed of the drives.
The adapter does that during BIOS bootup.

P.S. I'm typing this on a Mandrake 7.1 system with 2 LVD drives and several
narrow drives.
