still no luck with Radeon or Adaptec SCSI controller in 2.4.X

Hi,

I just built and tried the latest 2.4.11 kernel of Ben's and still can't
get the Radeon or the AIC-7XXX Adaptec SCSI PCI card (from Apple) to work.

Here are the relevant pieces from lspci and the mdesg log:

PCI: Probing PCI hardware
Unknown bridge resource 2: assuming transparent
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 01:04.0

...

Here is what lspci says:

So why does lspci not know the Radeom device id.  The device id is 5144
which is in the radeon.h list and is identified as a RADEON_QD?

Why did the pci probe not able to allocate the resources for it?

> PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 01:04.0


Then after using scsi awhile, I started to get the dreaded "aix7xxx_abort
returns 8194" and all was basically lost.

I tried to load the OLD AIC7XXX driver but could not find the proper line
for the .config file:
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX_OLD is no longer present in the .config

Has that older driver been removed?  Does anyone know the e-mail address of
the maintainer that I could contact directly (Justin T. Gibbs)?

Any ideas welcome!

Thanks,

Kevin
