There is a problem with the software when configuring an adaptec as a
second controller. The default dma for the controller is 5 but in 
/etc/conf/kconfig.d/space.tape.gen it is hard coded as 6 for a second
controller. (look for ifdef AS1 or AS2) Either change the controllers
jumpers or the file. If you change the software, reconfigure the HPDD with
kconfig and double check that space.c in /etc/conf/pack.d/aha1540 has the
right dma specified (after reconfiguring).
