Sorry, but I don't have a solution to your problem. I do have a suggestion though. You're likely to get a better response to your question by posting it to the aic7xxx mailing list. It's a small volume mailing list dedicated to the aic7xxx Linux driver. The instructions for subscribing are:
To Subscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
Good Luck, Gary
