scsi negotiation problem on aic79xx (39320A) in 2.6.14

This sounds very much like the issue I just posted (regarding an MPT adapter - U320 SCSI negotiation problem in Linux 2.6.13 and later implementations on LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 08)) - perhaps the AIC79xx driver has a similar issue where it doesn't handle some new parallel capabilities being shown by 2.6.13 (and later) kernels?
