The hardware controller firmwre took a long long time to respond to
the driver, if it responded at all.  The SCSI mid-layer started timing
out requests, and eventually tried to reset the controller (but it
can't really do that).

You may want to try the newer driver that's on ftp.lsil.com and merged
into kernel.org to see if that helps, and make sure your firmware is
completely up-to-date.

Thanks,
Matt
