I've tried all these options...regardless of ACPI being enabled or
disabled the driver still does not see the SCSI drive, both of my cdroms
are seen though.
Justin, I would be willing to test the 6.2.36 aic7xxx driver or variant
of if it was made available for 2.6.0-test3 kernel.
What else i could try? Any other suggestions would be welcome.

It will be a little while before I can get my own distributions up
and running in the 2.6 stream. I hope to start looking at this next
week.

Hi Justin,
After some more testing i have good news to report.
I am currently running kernel 2.6.0-test4 with aic7xxx driver.
The solution to my earlier problem was in SCSI-Select Utility under
Advanced Settings tab.I have never changed any options under the
AHA-2940U2W bios 2.57.2 but this time i've changed BIOS Support for
Int 13 Extensions from Enabled (default) to Disabled.That made all the
difference when the adapter is probed.
I have a question related to this setting, will this affect anything
when set to Disabled? Perhaps there's something in the driver that
prevents the Int 13 extention from functioning properly?
I can provide .config,dmesg output or verbose messages if needed.
Thank you for helping thus far.
Regards,
Paul
