Re: aic-7896 and 2.2.14

[Sajjad Zaidi <sajjad@example.com>]

I had to run 2.2.14 for consistency. If I upgrade, i ll have to upgrade many
boxes, but I think now is the time to go through that.

Anyway, just installed 2.2.17 and it works fine. Not a single error regarding
scsi. Now just have to get raid working. Looks like I have to get patches again.

Thanks everyone.
