I just looked at ftp.redhat.com and see 7.1 ships with 2.4.2.

Either way it's best for Mark to do as Jason suggested and get the latest
driver source from http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/ and see if the
problem persists.

An interesting note, under 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, and 2.4.4 my 2940 and 29160
cards worked just fine with the new aic7xxx driver, whatever version was in
those kernel releases.  I never experienced any troubles.  His problem may
also be a firmware bug on the 29160.  I know Adaptec has made a couple
releases of the firmware for the 29160, so that might also be an option to
investigate.
