I'm back off spring break now and back at work slamming my head into a brick wall trying to figure out my problems with Adaptec's 2940UW PCI controller.
My specs:
AHA2940UW rev. B, BIOS rev. 1.21, chipset AIC-7881U rev. 0 Adapter ID: 7, channel 0 Linux 1.3.84, aic7xxx driver version 2.24
The problems I'm encountering:
After any attempt to access the DEC DSP5300 disk at id 0, the system will hang solid with the IDE driver giving messages about interrupt requests { DriveReady SeekComplete }. After lockup, the IDE hard disk LED is on constantly, so it seems that there is some interference between the SCSI bus and the IDE driver... The system is apparently not processing interrupts, either, because CTRL-ALT-SCRLK doesn't give me a register dump.
The solution:
I don't know, but I'm gonna give FreeBSD a whirl on this machine to see if the support is any better. If so, I may look into merging the code bases of the two drivers to try to fix the problem.
