Module aci7xxx fails detecting some devices (Adaptec 2940 controller)

Symptom:

Some device (e.g. HP-Dat streamer) that are connected to a ultra/-wide Adaptec controller are not detected. During the initializing phase of the aci7xxx you may face a message like this

        ...
        SCSI: aborting command due to timeout: pid X scsi0, channel 0, 
              id X, lun 0, 0x00 00 00 00 00
        aic7xxx: (abort_reset) scb state 0x01, Data-Out phase, SCSISIGI = 0x0

Reason

The Adaptec bios is not proper configured to handle SCSI-I/II devices.

Solution:

Run the adaptec bios and switch the option Žinitiate wide negotiationŽ for the affected device to ŽnoŽ (SCSISelect/Additional Options)
