xfs/aic7xxx problem

I'm new to this list, so please forgive me if this has been
covered previously.  When I copy large amounts of data between
two disks using XFS and the aic7xxx driver I keep getting error
messages and then it completely locks up my machine.  Only one
of the disks has to be XFS.  I'm not sure, but I think it may
only have to be the disk I'm copying from.  So far I have not
gotten the error copying from ext2 to ext2.

I have tried this with kernel 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 under Redhat 7.1.
When I do the same operation on a machine with a symbios it
works fine.  I can also get this error message on multiple
machines with the aic7xxx.  

The error messages I get:

Here's what I have:
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.1.11
        <Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI adapter>
        aic7895C: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs

scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.1.11
        <Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI adapter>
        aic7895C: Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs
