I had this exact same problem yesterday while working on a server for a 
client(took me 4 hours). The solution was disabling hostraid in the scsi 
bios, because with it enabled it doesn't use the aic79xx driver(it uses 
a binary-only aic320 or so). you will loose raid capability but it's not 
a big deal(I've been told it's actually made in software)
