PII 400mhz boot problems

Okay i've never been able to get this machine to boot. I was able to get
2.1.96 - 2.1.98 to compile on this machine with no problems. But when I
reboot the machine hangs on the scsi driver. Whenever the card starts to
scan the channel the machine hangs. The same hardware will boot just fine
with the 2.0.33 kernel. Im running on a Tyan motherboard (100MHz) with the
Intel 440BX chipset, PII 400MHz, an AHA-294x Ultra SCSI card, 192 SDRAMM.
Am I missing some sort of patch? The only info I can get from the kernel
messages are below

with the lilo paramaters "linux aic7xxx=verbose:0xffff"

aic7xxx: <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> at PCI 16/0
aic7xxx: Loading serial EEPROM...done
aic7xxx: Termination (Low OFF, High OFF)
(scsi0) <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 16/0
(scsi0) Wide Channel, SCSI ID=7, 16/255 SCBs
(scsi0) BIOS enabled, IO Port 0xe800, IRQ 10
(scsi0) IO Memory at 0xffadf000, MMap Memory at 0xcc800000
(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code...
(scsi0) Will download code for option WIDE
(scsi0) Will download code for option SCB_PAGIN
(scsi0) Download complete, 406 instructions downloaded
scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.0.14/3.2.4
<Adaptec AHA-294x Ultra SCSI host adapter>
scsi : 1 host.
(scsi0:0:-1:-1) Scanning channel devices
(scsi0:0:-1:-1:-1) Allocating initial 30 SCB structures

this is as far as I've able to get. Any help would be greatly appreciated
(I wanna get this bad boy up and running).
