Sorry to follow up (I've deleted the dmesg output), but I thought I'd
share this info:

The Adaptec 7890 is not being detected with the new kernel.  That's the
issue.  (The 7890 is on the motherboard.)  Both HD's are on the 7890; the
CD and the tape are on the 7880 (which IS being recognized as ahc0 -- ahc0
is supposed to be the 7890.)
