Looks like the driver is still under development. Doug Ledford was 
advicing once to try the driver with no_reset option. It worked for me,
but I am running only a CD_R on my SCSI bus (on P2B-LS MB).

Everything may also depend on which version of the kernel and driver you
are running. Mine is 3.0.35 - kernel with 5.1.2 AIC7xxx patch.
