Hmm, I can't reproduce this.  However, when I alter the aic7xxx driver
actually to work on my 2944W card, I do see a kobject badness error
(although it still boots up for me).

Could you try this patch (from Mike Anderson).  It makes the kobject
badness go away for me, and so may fix your problem.  If it doesn't,
I'll have to defer to people who have aic cards and x86 hardware.
