Hi guys,

I have been using 2.1.108 on my workstation for a very long time with no
problem. The usage was very heavy. Now I boot 2.1.125 and the
SCSI subsystem hangs keeping resetting the bus. Here is some info:

I don't know anything about aic7xxx driver so I can only provide
information you need to fix this.
