Using AIC7XXX_OLD does not work either.  Different output....

Since we are looking elsewhere now... I have tried PCI access mode
BIOS and Direct with no improvement.  

There is an unrecognized PCI bridge resource in the boot messages...

I will go back and try 2.4.0 and 2.4.3-ac3 and see where that gets me.
