This is not necessarily the cause of the problems.
The messages Ed describes are exactly what I got from the 4.1 driver when
using two fast Micropolis AV drives on one channel.

Ed, I suggest upgrading to 2.0.33 with aic7xxx version 5.0.5 at least.
5.0.5 has been working perfectly with my drives for some weeks now, and that
is a software-raid0-striped fileserver, doing much data throughput every
day...

Doug Ledford even made this very easy for Redhat users: look at
ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx

There should be modified bootdisks that inlcude the new driver for Redhat
distributions.
