AIC7XXX-EISA hang at boot

I've got stuck in the problem

I trying to work with another piece of very old hardware. Acer altos 7000 or
something - p-75, with eisa bus and onboard eisa aic7xxx

it works with 2.4.7ac5
but for performance reasons I want to upgrade to something newer, for
example 2.4.12ac3
or 2.4.10ac4

doesn't matter
It hangs just after printk "SCSI subsystem ..." etc
with working kernel after that line we have scsi hardware driver init

so - do anybody know what's wrong with aic7xxx and who broke it after
2.4.7ac5 so it can't work on hardware described here ?

thanks

For EISA use aic7xxx_old or get the latest version from Justin Gibbs site

Why doesn't Linus and you merge it? The 6.2.4 runs pretty stable on our EISA 
box.
