I'm seeing roughly the same thing here.
I've been trying to sort it out for about a week now.
I'm running:
    Mylex MGPT-PNTM-B motherboard, dual PII/233CPUs, 128Mb memory
    Adaptec 29160 (u160 host adaptor)
    I've tried Seagate ST318404LW, ST318404LC and ST39103LW drives
    Just for kicks I'm going to try an IBM u160 after I finish this email.
    I've tried swapping out cables, terminators, etc.  (all LVD compliant)
    I've tried RH7 out of the box as well as 2.4.0-test10 with the alpha
version
      of the new aic7xxx driver found at http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux

Any time I _really_ abuse the I/O subsystem (i.e. something like
bonnie -s 2047) the system locks up and never comes back.  The SCSI
activity light is locked on solid -- something is hung out there.  There
is *no* activity at all.

I know what I'll be working on the rest of this week...  :-(
