Exact motherboard type? A google search may turn it up.

If I search for 'linux aic-7899 hangs' on google I get some interesting
links, the first is "Install hangs w. Supermicro 5011H w. AIC-7899"

"The system locks up during the kernel load.  The bootup is apparently 
choking on the aic7xxx driver and locks after downloading sequencer code
from both channels of the SCSI controller."
...
"The server is a new Supermicro 5011H with an Intel PIII, 1G, using Intel's
815E chipset.  It has an Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m onboard SCSI
controller with a SCA backplane between the onboard SCSI and the drives."

(Not that there's a solution there, but a more specific search with the
motherboard type might turn up something)

Cheers,

Brian.
