Well, I had to explicitly load the kernel WITH apic from the install-CD to 
get aic7xxx recognised. This is a L440GX dual PIII-450 mobo with AIC7896 
controller on-board, with 2x IBM DDRS-39130 drives. System complained about 
not having harddrives with standard install-kernel, after an initialization 
of 30 minutes.
But I got the thing running and installed, some minor glitches in config to 
resolve now :-)
