I'm assuming bk26 contains the latest set of SCSI diffs (they were
merged on 21 Nov around 14:00 PST)?
I've never successfully managed to get the aic7xxx driver to work on my
parisc platform. However, both with and without the latest SCSI diffs
the behaviour seems the same (it does print out the driver banner before
failing to connect to the drives). I take it you aren't seeing this
banner?

Correct, no banner and bk26 has a scsi_scan change.

I'm seeing the same behaviour on my machine (t9-bk26,SMP,HT,preeemp,P4), the
last line displayed is:
ahc_pci:3:6:0: Host Adapter Bios disabled. Using default SCSI device
parameters
And after this the boot procedure is stopped.
The following message, with bk23, is:
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.35
<Adaptec 2902/04/10/15/20/30C SCSI adapter>
aic7850: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/253 SCBs

Hmm, I can't reproduce this. However, when I alter the aic7xxx driver
actually to work on my 2944W card, I do see a kobject badness error
(although it still boots up for me).
Could you try this patch (from Mike Anderson). It makes the kobject
badness go away for me, and so may fix your problem. If it doesn't,
I'll have to defer to people who have aic cards and x86 hardware.

Patch applied, no change, same hang.
