My experience with aha et al ( i know of no other - I have aha1542cf, and 2 of
the 29xx series which is aha777x drivers) is that scsi bus time-outs, once
reported onto syslogd, you just never recover at all. sometimes the scsi bus is
so hosed that a warm boot will not recover. I am not sure who is captivating
the bus, but only a power down will do. On my alpha, my bus just doesnt get
hosed, but those timeouts, once they occure, do not stop at all!
