[ahb driver fails to find any devices]

Ah, yup, sorry, i have been confusing this...

The above is really the BIOS geometry, i.e. it lists the drives as
reported by the BIOS vectors.  Alas, the ahb driver failed to probe
the devices... ok, now i'm also remembering the real problem.

Ok, i've widened the scope of this reply to freebsd-scsi, i ran out of
ideas.  The only question is, i know that several things have been
changing on the EISA front meanwhile.  There should be an (unofficial)
2.2-SNAP available somewhere on freefall.  Perhaps you could give its
boot floppy try and see whether the driver there would see your
drives?

Anybody else here?  Julian?  Do you have an idea why the AHA17xx
driver sees the adapter, but fails to find the drives?

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
