Hello, I had a similiar problem with the aic7xxx driver with regards to 2.2.11. My problem was caused by my drive:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: WDIGTL Model: ENTERPRISE Rev: 1.43 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
This was because with TCQ and this drive did not work. I found 2 solutions to my problem.
1. I rolled out all patches 2.2.11 applied to the scsi branch of the kernel tree. 2. I upgraded to 2.3.18.
In my OPION the best answer is 2.3.18. It is a better kernel and seems to me more stable. The only problem I had with 2.3.18 is I had to upgrade my ppp utilities. Note i DO NOT suggest the use of 2.2.12 as I found problems in the math section of the emulator library.
Please note my experiences are on the Alpha/AXP system but this should map well to other more "primative" platforms. :)
