FYI, I have been seeing this as well.

I can trigger this card lockup at will with mkfs.ext3; for other
filesystems, I may need to extract a kernel source .tar.gz in order to
cause a lockup.

aacraid: Host adapter reset request. SCSI hang ?
aacraid: Host adapter appears dead

I am using an Adaptec 2120S with a RAID5 of Seagate U320 drives - yes, I
know about the Seagate firmware timeout problem, these drives are brand
new with firmware rev 0006 and thus aren't affected.

This hardware has no problems with kernel 2.4.x.
