Adaptec 29320LPE errors on boot

Hi,

I have this Adaptec 29320LPE SCSI board (used the aic79xx driver)
which give several errors during boot time, just after it recognizes
the HDs connected to it.

If I remove the SCSI HD there are no SCSI errors.

The very first error messages have scrolled up and I don't know how to
get to them (is there a way?) but here is the transcript of what I can
see:

scsi0: hwerrint, Sequencer Parity Error
scsi0: hwerrint, Data-path Parity Error
scsi0: hwerrint, Scratch or SCB Memory Parity Error
scsi0: hwerrint, CIOBUS Parity Error

Please let me know if there is any extra info needed. I can make any
modifications necessary as this is a test machine.
