Has anyone had any success using this option? Didn't work for me. Problem 
isn't isolated to just the 7890 it seems, I get the same error on a Adaptec 
2930CU. It still produced:

>In interrupt handler - not syncing

I also tried using the old aic7xxx driver, which did load the module. However 
it produced a kernel oops immediately after. I don't remember the exact point 
in the boot sequence, I believe it was at "Trying to unmount old root".
