James,

    I just upgraded to the latest firmware on the Emulex website
(3.92a2) and I still get the same error:
Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel SCSI driver 8.0.28
scsi2 :  on PCI bus 00 device 20 irq 8132864
lpfc 0001:00:04.0: 0:1303 Link Up Event x1 received Data: x1 xf7 x8 x0

iotag x0 not found
...
lpfc 0001:00:04.0: 0:0748 abort handler timed out waiting for abort to
complete. Data: x0 x0 x0 x1

lpfc 0001:00:04.0: 0:0327 Rsp ring 0 error -  command completion for

Any ideas?
