2.0.32 hangs when trying to access the tape drive..

[Sameer Anja]

Hi-

	This is a P100 system with adaptec 2940 controller.
Currently I am running 2.0.30 with Doug's aic patch for the narrow
drives. This works fine and I am able to access the dat drives fine.

	However, the same does not happen with 2.0.32. I have downloaded
the same from ftp.kernel.org and trying to access the dat drive results
in the load average shooting up to 5.... After the system becomes unusable.
I cannot log on, cannot shutdown... but the system does not freeze.
On a terminal already on, I can work minus problems for some time.

	The only option out is a cold boot.

	What could be the problem with the scsi? Also, the scsi controller
just freezes, does not do anything, but the load  continously keeps shooting
up.

P.S. There is nothing in the logs though...
