[NTLUG:Discuss] aic7xxx: infinite timed-out, ressetting on Red Hat install

This is my first SCSI machine. I got a Micron NetFrame 3400, with a
Mylex RAID controller. According to Mylex, I learned that Red Hat will
boot on the RAID device only if there are 3 or fewer partitions. They
suggested adding another drive on the SCSI controller and installing the
OS on it. Then I could partition the RAID device and mount them
wherever. So I got a Seagate Barracuda 18 Gig ST318436LW Ultra 160 from
Fry's.
I disabled the Adaptec bios for the RAID controller, as told by Micron.
Now, when the Red Hat installer tries to load the aic7xxx driver, it
just sits there. When I look on console 3, it says:
SCSI host 0 abort (PID 0) timed out - resetting
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
...over and over on ad infinitum. Micron says that the hardware is set
up correctly, and that's it, good-bye.
Now I haven't a clue. I have put the drive on the same cable as the tape
drive, and my understanding is that the tape drive provides proper
termination. I also bought a cable and terminator. I tried installing
the drive on the alternate LVDS controller as such, but got the same
result.
I am at wits end. Anyone have any ideas?
