AHA-2910C aic7xxx

[Didier Bringer]

OK, thanks Doug and everybody

I have rebuild my kernel (2.2.5-15) without the 
PROBE_ALL_LUN options but It didn't work.
What would solve the bus reset pb ?

I can for sure upgrade to RH 6.1 but I would like to know 
exactly what component is to upgrade.

thanks a lot.
