Which SCSI features are enabled for the drive.
Could you report me your .config file and boot messages using driver 2.5f.
Could you provide me with more information on the problem like:

- What is the command that times-out (config. with verbose SCSI message).
- What are the latest 'normal' kernel messages just before the breakage.
