Hi,

I've tried both repeatedly, Ctrl-Alt-Del and the reset button, makes
no difference. Only power cycling will reset the controller.

Well, I sent mail to support@adaptec.com and their reply after several
days basically was "We don't support Linux".

Personally, I consider it a design flaw if the adapter doesn't clear
its state on a reboot or reset and requires a total power down.
