Did you have a look into your /var/log/messages (or whatever it is)
and find corresponding "scsi blablabla : resetting for second half of retries."
messages in there?
If this is the case, i think i've found a fix.
Somebody changed the time calculation for resetting
in drivers/scsi/scsi_obsolete.c (line 1116) between 2.1.130 and 2.1.131
screwing at least aic7xxx (and maybe other low level scsi drivers using
the _old_ scsi error handling stuff).
See patch below.
Regards,
Heinz
