Just a simple mke2fs hangs in get_request_wait(). Running an `ls -lR' against an IDE disk gets it going again. Seems that the driver is failing to call into the elevator to fetch more requests. The unplug activity from the IDE reads is sufficient to keep the SCSI driver limping along. The driver is aic7xxx.
