** Summary **
aic7xxx driver reliably crashes to(/in?) ahc_handle_seqint() function.
** Explanations **
I updated my motherboard from MVP3 chipset to KT133A (Asus KT7A) board and
now I'm getting Oopses like no tomorrow.
when ever I do something that uses scsi disk more than just a bit it will
crash.

>From linux-kernel mailing list I saw that ppl have had problems with
AIC7xxx on KT chipset. However seems that others have gotten it solved.
Any suggestions are more than welcome and I'll gladly provide any help I
can.
