I'm just wondering if the reset timeout in the config scripts is being used
at all? The fix works for me on an SMP machine, but the reset wait period I
specify on the LILO line appears to not make two hoots difference in the
SCSI set-up phase. It always takes about 5 seconds even if the reset
time-wait on boot is specified to be something large (like say 60 seconds).
Where as in pre -ac5 it would obediently wait a minute...
I also note that SCSI_TIMEOUT is set to 5*HZ in debug mode... makes me
wonder....

This patch works absolutely fine for me on 2.4.0-test1-ac10. - AIC7xxx
loads fine on boot, no complaints. - It is in the kernel, not a module.
(Timeout is set to 5 secs in AIC7xxx setup).
Just to give a positive message. (-:
