Subject:   Problem with Adaptec AIC-7850 card

	HELP! I have read all the info I could find on the card and in the kernel
and the HOWTOs. I am getting a auto-termination error and don't know what to
do. First off, for some reason, my card does not prompt me to press ctrl+a
while the machine is booting before it starts to load the os. This makes no
since to me at all. Below are a few debug logs I found pretaining to what
happened. To let ya'll know, I had a scanner hooked up to my card and it was
working fine. I tried to setup a hard drive but found it was corrupted so I
took it off. I set the card back up both physically and software wise the
same way it was before except that I didn't take the disk support out in the
scsi section of the kernel. If you have any ideas that might help, please
feel free to respond. I haven't found any useful, understandable solutions
yet....even on adaptec's site i might add.

Quick Rundown
-------------
OS: Redhat 6.0
Kernel: Linux 2.2.13
Card: Adaptec AIC-7850
SCSI ID switch on scanner: ID 5
Scanner: Umax SuperVista S-12
Built-in Scsi kernel driver selections: Scsi support enabled; Scsi Disk
Support; Scsi generic support; Probe all LUNs; Verbose Scsi error logging;
and under Scsi low level drivers I have: Adaptec AIC-7xxx support enabled;
enable tag queueing disabled; maximum tcq 8; collect statistics to report in
/proc enabled; delay in sec after scsi bus reset 5.
