This bit me too - I've made it into a patch against 2.1.88. It's at
ftp://dwmw2.robinson.cam.ac.uk/pub/kernel/aic7xxx-5.0.7-in-2.1.88

> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000021

That looks like 2.1.87 to me. Could you try it on 2.1.88, or decode the oops so
that we have more than a whelk's chance in a supernova of working out what's
happening?
