Help! AHA-1540 host adapter and ESIX SysV 3.2

Well, ESIX is now up and running on my '386/33 using a 40meg
IDE drive. I also have two 100meg Quantum drives in the system
and am using an Adaptec AHA-1540 SCSI Host Adapter to connect
to the PC bus.
When I attempt to create partitons on the SCSI drives, ESIX
successfully accesses the drives, writes the partition table and
does a 'bad-sector-scan'. It then asks me about the name of the
'user' partition, and attempts to write that information to disk.
A message comes up on /dev/console (no matter where I run diskadd
from) that says:
AHA: Unknown host adapter status: 00000016
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? I have tried
calling the ESIX folks (415) 683-ESIX, but I don't ever get any
answer (their fax machine does not pickup either...)
