Can you post a recipe ?
I got a screenful of log recently with "Aiee: killing interrupt handler"
and some other stuff I didn't have time to write down (production
machine still running 2.1.108 with 5.1.0pre10 for the aic7xxx driver),
along with a *total* hang.
I'd like to track it down if possible; the only info I have is that
apparently the machine was thrashing somewhat at the time (huge job,
1.8x phys. mem. in a transient phase).

(If it matters, it's a Dell 410/2xPII400/512MB, with almost all disk
activity on a 7880+4GB UN disk, not fully using the 7890+2x4GBU2W yet
(until tomorrow ;-)).
