I too have the same problem but using 2.0.35/pre10. I have an adaptec 2910C which will not boot with the pre10 (or any other version) of the aic7xxx driver unless I bootstrap the machine with a DOS floppy, and the DOS ASPI driver first. When the boot fails it goes into a reset loop on Test Unit Ready. I have check my bootup logs, and noticed that the host SCSI ID is reported as being 0 when the boot fails, but is correctly reported as 7 when I have bootstrapped with the DOS driver. Anyway I tried hardcoding the correct SCSI ID in aic7xxx.c but it did not help (even though it now reports the ID correctly - I guess I didn't make the complete change). Incidentally (for the benefits of the aic7xxx list) I have posted information about my bootstrap method to the list previously but it 'seemed' to be ignored. I now notice Robert G Brown talking about bootstrapping his systems from NT and FreeBSD - so I assume that my problem (which I initially suggested was an initialisation problem in the driver) and Roberts problem are related.
