Sigh. Does the aic7xxx driver actually drive your interface, or is
it detecting the wrong card? I'm unhappy with drivers that loop forever
or panic the kernel when they could avoid doing so and just shut down the
device. Driver developers have gotten lazy about this since modules came
along.

That looks like the old 2048 cylinder problem rearing its ugly head
again. The libc part of that bug is fixed - it must be something else.
Maybe I'll luck out and find a newer version of cfdisk.

Old version of kbd. Fixed in next upload.

I documented this bug, yes. The next disk won't have it.
