Hi John,
there have been a couple of ongoing problems with aic79xx
in the 2.6.8 kernel packages. I think these have been resolved now,
and I am guessing that the ISOs you have had an older version of
the kernel. If you have a chance to test the latest kernel on
d.o then that would be much appreciated.
