The only change I can think of that might affect this controller is that
auto-pause is now enabled for 7880 controllers. To verify this, please
change
line 250 or sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.h from this:
AHC_AIC7870_FE = AHC_TARGETMODE|AHC_AUTOPAUSE,
to this:
AHC_AIC7870_FE = AHC_TARGETMODE,
Can you also send me the output of "pciconf -l" using a kernel that boots
as well as any markings on the main chip (sticker and what's underneath)
from "ahc0"? I somehow doubt that it is a 398X, but that is what the
driver thinks.
