You're supposed to boot with this lilo append option:
aic7xxx=extended,no_reset
So, from the lilo prompt, you type that -- once in, edit /etc/lilo.conf,
and add that as an append option (like 'append="aic7xxx=..."' -- read the
lilo man), and rerun lilo.
For some reason, this only keeps my hard drive from resetting the bus
about 1 in three tries, though, so if that works for you please write me.
