Folks,

I have a dual PIII (GigaByte GA6BXDS)loaded up with 2 Promise Ultra-66 PCI
cards and onboard Adaptec AIC-7895U scsi controller. Whilst my drives run off
the Promise cards, I'm trying to get a nice HP DDS4 DAT drive flying on the
scsi bus for backup.

The problem arises when I try to insmod the aic7xxx driver:

(scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7895 Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 12/0
(scsi0) Wide Channel A, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs
(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 374 instructions downloaded
(scsi1) <Adaptec AIC-7895 Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 12/1
(scsi1) Wide Channel B, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs

scsi1 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.20/3.2.4
       <Adaptec AIC-7895 Ultra SCSI host adapter>
scsi : 2 hosts.
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 

This is with no devices attached to the onboard SCSI, and termination on. This 
should "just work", no?

Now, as far as I can see, I definitely have a resource conflict . . . 

[root@osmin /root]# cat /proc/interrupts

Spot the Promise card and the Adaptec fighting for 16?? What's up with that? 
Could this be the source of my troubles? This is what /proc/pci has to say 
about our friends:

  Bus  0, device   8, function  0:

      I/O at 0xe400 [0xe401].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xec241000 [0xec241000].

Can anyone advise how I might convince my onboard SCSI to play nicely with the
rest of the children?
