3ware driver errors

(Apparently 3w-xxxx in the Subject gets caught as spam. Somebody
might want to adjust that regular expression. :-)

I have a server that is locking up every day or two with a console
full of this error:

3w-xxxx: scsi0: Command failed: status = 0xcb, flags = 0x37, unit #0.

This is on a Dell PowerEdge 1400SC (dual PIII/1.13GHz, 1.1GB RAM),
with a 3ware Escalade 7000-2 and two WD1600JB drives, running Red Hat
8.0 with kernel-smp 2.4.18-27.8.0.

I plan to report this to Red Hat's bugzilla, but I'm hoping for some
ideas or big red flags to jump out at somebody here... I use this box
for a UML hosting server, so all this downtime is affecting *way* too
many people.

This box has been having other stability problems, so I'm guessing
this might not be directly related to the 3ware card/driver. It did
survive a memtest86 pass.
