Simon,

Try passing aic7xxx=[device options] at boot. Find the valid options in
/usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/scsi/README.aic7xxx like:

"aic7xxx=no_probe" - This option will disable the probing for any VLB
based 2842 controllers and any EISA based controllers.  This is
needed on certain newer motherboards where the normal EISA I/O 	ranges
have been claimed by other PCI devices. "

You may see other options that address your symptoms in there.
