backing out bk-scsi.patch seems to fix it. I believe this worked in
2.6.9-rc3-mm2.


Mine works:

03:0c.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892B U160/m (rev 02)

werewolf:~> uname -a
Linux werewolf.able.es 2.6.9-rc3-mm3 #1 SMP...


Mine doesn't without backing out those patches :) See my other post about this.

04:05.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m (rev 01)
04:05.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m (rev 01)

You can see you have different chips. It's the IDs.
I'll come up with something shortly.
