Here is the output when I reboot with 5.1.1 with the boot options ...
aic7xxx=panic_on_abort,verbose:0x1ffff

It gives the exact same output.  It basically just hangs telling me that
it couldn't mount the root partition (obviously because the RAID
controller was not found).

This worked up until pre4 (I think) and then stopped working.  After I
reported this, it was fixed in pre5 or6 and worked at least until pre7.
Stopped working around pre10 or 11 I think, and still does not work.  It
basically just does not detect the RAID controller.  This is a pain now
that 5.1.1 is being distributed in all new kernel releases.  This meanse
that I will have to back port to get this system to boot in the event of a
kernel upgrade.

Thoughts??

Thanks,

Greg
