What is the PCI device ID? When you boot, you should get a
message describing [an] unknown PCI device ID[s].  The
PCI code has to be modifed to support these IDs, and then
the driver has to be modifed to recognize them also.

There isn't a kernel that detects one, but if you send
all the relevent information, I can release a patch to
the PCI code and the aic7xxx driver.
