I am no RAID expert, but I know a SCSI bus hang when I see one.
A suggestions which I am sure everyone will make:
1. Try the 2.2.14 kernel with the newer patch:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raid-patches/raid-2.2.14-B1
And a few of my own:
2. Try booting with kernel argument "aic7xxx=verbose" and see of you get
any more interesting messages.
3. The reason your log stops is because your SCSI bus stops. If you have
another machine running syslogd, try pointing your log across the network;
see the section about "Remote Machine" in the "man syslog.conf" page.
4. Unplug the Plextor.
