If > you can tell me how to disable DV, I'd be happy to give it a try. aic7xxx.txt is out of date. The aic7xxx (and 79xx) drivers use the generic domain validation code now rather than the old aic specific ones (which is what the dv:{0} option is referring to). If you try the code in the prior email, I think that will disable the piece of DV that's causing the problem. If the test code succeeds, the problem is pretty nasty: Apparently the device claims DT support but in fact rejects DT in the negotiation. We use DT support to begin the check for an echo buffer, which starts with READ_BUFFERS for the descriptor. Apparently this device returns a valid descriptor with a reasonable echo buffer size and then promptly throws a wobbly when we try to use it.
