This SCSI controller (see subject) is recognized by ahc-driver as
aic7850 (not by aic-driver). The only thing attached to it is
CD-ROM, which is recognized as well, although, if there is no CD
in it _at boot time_, attempts to mount it later will give "device
not configured".

The problem is, that when starts reading from the CD, machine hangs
(almosT), producing a horrible amount of warnings like "ahc...WARNING
 no command ...". I can switch virtual terminals, but can not do
a soft reboot. I tried disabling/enabling various PCI, EISA, Cache
parameters with no result.

Is the controller supported (it is built on mother-board)? Can it
be, that I just have a bad CD-ROM? Any other ideas? Thanks!
