Re: aic7xxx and 2.4.3 failures

[lists@sapience.com]

I confirm similar problems (see my message from yesterday).
AIC7XXX_OLD also failed for me. I have tried aic 6.1.8 as well
as 6.1.10. 

Both 2.4.0 under redhat 7.0 and 2.4.1 as shipped by redhat 
wolverine work. As have all earlier versions going back to 2.3.xx
and 2.2.x
