aic7896n, phoenix bios, apic

[Vivek Dasmohapatra <vivek@zeus.com>]

Just tried the bf-2.4 floppies on a new server here at work - turns out 
that certain intel mobo/phoenix-bios/aic7896 combinations won't work 
unless the IO-Apic support is forced on - without it, the machine just loops 
continuously resetting the scsi bus/devices. ( Apparently this is an IRQ
routing problem ).

I've dropped a new kernel onto the bf2.4 floppy, and it now boots Ok.
( not sure whether it finds the modules though - replacing the kernels 
  is easy - is there an easy way to do the same for the modules in the
  ramdisk image? ).
