Hi,

With 2.1.96 (and I noticed this about 5 or 10 kernels back as well if I'm
not mistaken) my AIC-7880 v1.26sP7 (onboard controller, intel r440lx
motherboard) with the bios enabled, the linux aic7xxx driver reports the
bios as disabled and I get the wrong number of drives identified. In fact,
15 devices show up when really I have 10 drives on the channel.

I've backed down to 2.1.95 in the meantime, the 10 drives are identified
and performance is pretty speedy, with the bios enabled. If I disable the
bios I get similar behavior.. do I need to flash my controller to a more
recent revision perhaps, with 2.1.96 and on?
